A Time of Renewal, Balance, and Growth

OSTARA: MARCH 20TH 2025

WHAT IS OSTARA?

Ostara, also known as the Spring Equinox, marks the point of balance between light and dark as day and night become equal. It is a time of renewal, growth, and new beginnings, celebrated in many traditions as the true start of the year.

For many, Ostara symbolises the awakening of nature, fertility, and the return of warmer, brighter days. It’s a season to plant seeds—both physically and metaphorically—embracing fresh opportunities, setting intentions, and aligning with the energy of rebirth.

THEMES OF OSTARA.

Balance: Light and dark are in perfect harmony, reminding us to seek balance within ourselves.

Renewal: Nature is bursting back to life—this is the season to embrace growth, both physically and spiritually.

Fertility & Abundance: Symbolised by eggs, hares, and blooming flowers, Ostara represents creation and prosperity.

Transformation: Like the earth shaking off winter, we, too, can release the old and step into something new.

HOW TO CELEBRATE OSTARA.

Nature Walks & Outdoor Rituals: Honour the changing season by walking in nature, observing budding flowers, or meditating under the sun.

Spring Cleansing: Physically and energetically cleanse your space with incense, fresh herbs, or a deep clean.

Planting Seeds: Start a garden or plant herbs, symbolising new beginnings and future abundance.

Decorate Eggs: A tradition dating back centuries, eggs symbolise fertility and renewal.

Herbal Teas for Renewal: Chamomile, peppermint, and dandelion are perfect for awakening the body and cleansing the system.
