At the spring equinox, day and night are roughly equal, and from here the light wins. Ostara celebrates balance, fertility and new life bursting through: buds, blossoms, baby animals.
Eggs and hares are traditional symbols of this season of renewal. It's a lovely time to plant seeds, literal or otherwise, and watch your intentions begin to sprout.
Ways to celebrate
- Planting seeds
- Decorating eggs
- Fresh flowers on the altar
- A spring walk
