I am a day or two late with these greetings – Happy Ostara to one and all.
Ostara dawned as anything BUT Spring like in my neck of the woods, with snow showers and biting cold, but days have warmed up nicely since. The days are growing longer (I’ve been able to run outside after work) and warmer and neighbors are starting to tend gardens that have been barren too long. This is the time, traditionally, to seek a fresh start. Pitch the clutter, renew your spirit & celebrate the spring goddess Ostara.
Ostara, whose name means “shining or rising towards the Sun,” is celebrated on Spring Equinox. At this time of year abundance reigns and fertility – bet you guessed that with all the eggs & bunny rabbits!
Spring cleaning is well underway here and I am working on selling some items we’ve never used on ebay. Swords are the suit of the season and I’ll be rededicating my study, wearing mossy greens and lilacs and choosing my words with care.
