VERY HAPPY & BLESSED SPRING TO YOU ALL!!

>>>>Here is a small spring offering I have been using for years. Created by Edain McCoy and very, VERY nice to do with children<<<<<<

~OSTARA~


Ostara celebrates the balance of light and dark, with light emerging triumphant, initiating rebirth of the earth and all those creatures and plants who live upon her.From ancient times through the present day, the humble egg has been the enduring symbol of this season for people in almost every culture the world over.

To use them in ritual that honors the earth as the womb of the Goddess, who gives life to all things, decorate hard boiled eggs in whatever manner you choose. On the day of the Equinox ~Sunday 3/21 this year~ take the eggs outside somewhere reasonably private where you can dig into the earth. Gentle tap the earth and tell the Goddess therein that it is time to awaken. With your hands, dig small holes in the ground in which to place the eggs.
These serve as an offering to the Goddess and nourishment for her after a long winter’s hibernation. It also symbolizes your desire to see life renewed again as summer approaches.
