Ostara Blessings

Blessed Ostara! Spring is here! This is an extremely powerful equinox (period of equal day and night). The added energy of the new moon, and a solar eclipse can give your affirmation work an added boost.

How should you celebrate this day? That's up to you. Most of our modern rituals are centered around nature. 

Wearing bright colors to celebrate new growth, eggs to symbolize new life and planting seeds are some of the traditions.

Remembering that the energy is high, it is important to stay grounded.

Respect this energy but do not fear it. Energy is neither good nor evil. It can burn down a forest or send a rocket to the moon. Choose to harness this energy for your highest good.

Using the garden as a metaphor, it is also a good day to do some personal "weeding." Clear a closet or drawer, pick something you no longer need and give it away, thus releasing the "old" energy of Winter. Give thanks for the service it provided and send it on its journey as you make space for something new and amazing.
