Ostara/Spring Equinox

Ostara, also known as the Spring Equinox, is a time of celebration for many cultures. In the Northern Hemisphere, it typically falls in late March or early April and marks the official start of spring. According to ancient beliefs, Ostara was blessed by the goddess Eostre - from which we get our modern name for the holiday. During this time, nature is in full bloom, and animals are out of hibernation. Many cultures celebrate the fertility of plants and animals during Ostara and the return of longer days and more sunshine. There may be feasts, bonfires, rituals, or other activities to honour the season and mark its beginning. On a spiritual level, Ostara is a time for renewal and rebirth. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the transformations that have taken place in our lives and give us the strength to continue growing and learning. Whether you celebrate Ostara or not, it's important to take this time to appreciate the beauty of nature and acknowledge our connection with the earth.
