Blessed Ostara/Spring Equinox and Happy First Day of Spring!!!




     Ostara is a time of renewal and rebirth.  Mother Earth is beginning to awaken and shake off the cold of winter.  Plants begin to push their way out of the dirt and the animals get frisky. Also the Vernal Equinox is going on. Today the light and dark are equal and the days will continue to get longer leading up to the Summer Solstice.  It's a time for new beginnings, renewed commitments, and putting plans into action. Spell work pertaining to fertility, abundance, balance, and new endeavors are done around this time. 

Ostara Activities:
  1. Stop pretending there isn't a monster living in your closet.  Do some spring cleaning.  De-clutter your home, give the place a good scrubbing, organize the closets and show the monster to the door.
  2. The yard looked o.k. during the winter because the snow was kind enough to hide the weeds. Do some yard work, plant some flowers and get good and dirty.
  3. Yes the Sun is up and no you can't go back to sleep.  The time to hibernate is over. Go for a walk or hike and say hello to nature. 
  4. By the Gods, what is that smell?!?!  Open the windows and let some fresh spring air in...please. Smudge with white sage and/or burn a little incense. 
  5. Fill the house with fresh flowers. If you snag them out of your neighbors yard make sure no one is looking. 
  6. Give Oomancy a try (divination using a raw egg). If you don't receive any messages at least your halfway to an omelette.

May an abundance of joy spring forth into your life!!! Blessed Ostara!
