Ostara- the Vernal Equinox

aka Eostara
The Earth has warmed and new life abounds! Day and night are equal, but the Sun continues to grow in power and quickly overtakes the night. This is the height of Spring and a time of new beginnings, fresh starts, and life returned. 

Common Ostara Traditions
These are a few traditions that many Wiccans and Pagans enjoy as part of their Ostara celebrations. Though some may seem like nothing more than Christian Easter traditions, when one considers just how little an egg has to do with the resurrection of a Divine Savior, the Pagan origins become obvious.

• color and decorate eggs using natural dyes. The dried brown skins from common yellow onions will give eggs a lovely brown color, turmeric gives a nice mustardey yellow, purple onion skins will give a pink tone, and there's many more! Just boil the eggs with any of these added to the water; the longer you boil, the darker the color.
• take your decorated eggs outside and roll them across the ground. This Slavic custom imparts the fertile energy of the egg to the Earth, celebrating the new growth and life and encouraging more of it.
• enjoy foods made with eggs, seeds,  and flowers. All of these symbolize the resurgence of life within the land. If it's warm where you live and there is enough new growth, gather wild greens (such as Dandelion, Plantain, or whatever grows naturally.)
