Wiccan Holidays: What is Ostara?
Observing the Sabbats not only helps attune us to the cycles of nature, but also helps deepen our connection with and understanding of Wicca. This is what Wicca is about-- these rhythms of the Earth, of our life cycle, of the divine.
My Advice for You Today: Celebrate Ostara tomorrow! Or at some point this weekend!
By all means, if you have tools and an altar, or are part of a group, go and enjoy a full-blown ritual! That is always an awesome way to celebration.
But some people aren't able to do that. Some people have to work, or live with others who are less than understanding. That's okay too! You don't need to hold formal ceremonial rites to celebrate the season!
Some simple ideas:
- go for a nature walk
- go have a picnic
- do some Spring cleaning, then cleanse/bless your home or room
- work in the garden
- if you don't have a garden, plant some herb seeds in a pot on the windowsill
- make something for lunch or dinner in the spirit of the season
- sit outside at night and toast to the Gods and the season
- meditate
- perform some minor works of magic
- do some divination
