Ostara

 

On 20th March 2026 it is Ostara, the Spring Equinox. A time when the day and night is equal in length and the feeling in the air is a little bit brighter, a little bit lighter and a tad warmer. A time to celebrate the transition from Winter to Spring... Hurray!

In old times, Ostara was a time to worship the Anglo-Saxon Goddess Eostre who thawed the land after the freezing, dark winter, breathing and waking the Earth once more.

For us, Ostara is a time of new beginnings, renewel, balance, rejuvination, growth and change. Stand in the light and renew your power. 

 

Ways to celebrate

• Decorate and paint eggs or turn them into candles.

• Plant seeds or bulbs in the garden

• Spring clean the house

• Have a cleansing bath

• Create an Ostara altar with pastel shades, candles, eggs.

• Light candles, smudge sticks or incense to clear the winter stagnant energy.

• Go for a walk in nature and experience the spring air.

• Get creative by dancing, singing, journaling, crocheting, knitting, painting , writing a poem or story. 

• Give offerings to the local wildlife; feeding the birds.

​

  Manifest your goals

​

Write your goals down on a piece of paper and say

"While the water nourishes the earth,

May our intentions stay strong and true."

Repeat 3 times.

Then fold the paper towards you. Sit with your goals and feel the way you would feel if they came true. Then go outside and bury your paper, like planting your seeds.
