OSTARA / ESTRE / SPRING EQUINOX

TRADITIONAL DATES : Northern Hem: March 20 - 21 . Southern Hem: Sept 21 .
Astrological dates vary annually.

OSTARA: SOME KEY POINTS:

Equal day and night.
Time to reflect upon things that need to be balanced in life.
Second planting & fertility Sabbat - a good time to plant seeds and for creating new ideas, projects or ventures.
Eggs and rabbits are used to symbolise fertility and fertility of the land / abundant crops. Chocolate is used to signify aphrodisiacal properties. The use of these elements at this time were later adopted and adapted by Christianity.
The word Easter also comes from the word Estre or Eostre. Eostre is the ancient Anglo-Saxon Goddess of Spring, the East, Resurrection and rebirth and is also the Maiden of the Triple Goddess (Mother, Maiden and Crone.)
A perfect time for "spring cleaning" and for removing things in life that no longer serve us.
Time for a fresh, new start.
Share the spring vibe by giving flowers from your garden to others !
