On Friday March 20th the Sun enters Aries @ 7:43 am. The beginning of new hopes, new beginnings, and new realationships. The Earth is rewakening! Its the seed sowing / planting sabbat, as well as a fertility festival. The day where Day and Night are equal and the days begin to grow longer.

The egg has always been the representation of life and the rabbit is always seen as the symbol of fertility. This sabbat is about 6,000 + years old. And just like back then, today we continue to paint eggs and hide them, decorate our hearth and homes with the signs of life,Spring, and prepare a delicious meals for the sabbat.
In Druid legends, an egg found on this day was a healing egg with very benefical powers especially when used in divination.

This day is to celebrate life. So, on this morning rise with dawn and prepare yourself By clearing your aura, bathe to rid of negativity and or problems, meditate to regain focus as well as ground and center yourself, and wear your special clothes for Ostara. If your new and you don't have your special spot in your closet for sabbat clothing...that is a okay. Regular everyday clothes are fine as long as they are clean. If you haven't the night before, start cooking for the feast.

This a great celebration for kids too because they can help bake and cook. Make special gifts, play games, story telling...etc.

If you have a garden say a blessing for that garden and or feild. And bless your live stock too with fertility. If you know someone whom is trying to become pregnant, you can also say a blessing for them too, as well as a spell for them, but only if you get their permission first.

Then the night of Ostara starting a sunset is when the bonfires are lit and rituals are performed.

May this year our fields yeild mass quanity of healthy crops and may all livestock become fertile. May everyone be happy and healthy and enjoy life to its fullest.

Blessed Be,

~ Autumn
