Ostara

Evidence of the coming Spring is starting to sprout up all over my yard. The grass is starting to turn into a thick dark green, and the daffodils are popping up all around our house.






This excites me, of course.

All these signs turns towards Ostara, The Spring Equinox. Time to start preparing the ground for the planting of seeds, and sowing of personal new beginnings.

I see this time as an opportunity to begin anew, to start sowing my resolutions that I committed myself to, during Yule for this coming year.
Such as:

  • Making more time to be dedicated to my spiritual and magickal growth
  • Taking better care of my health by changing my lifestyle (exercise, food choices, stress) choices.

Ostara is also the time we show honor to the Goddess Eostre, the Goddess of Ostara, also known as the Vernal Equinox. You see her in every new growth, from the birth of a ewe, to the sprouting of a new flower. She is the Goddess in Maiden form, so young and innocent but capable of creating all new life. 

Honor her by planting a garden, setting food out (in a safe area away from roads and not to close to your home) for the wild creatures to feed on, or find a way to help create and care for life.


May your coming Spring be sown with prosperity and love!

Dark Blessings to you all!
