We are entering Ostara season—a time of awakening, balance, and boundless potential. With the Earth stretching and stirring from its winter slumber, this is the perfect moment to embrace new beginnings and align with the energy of renewal.
Here are some of my favorite ways to honor this season. Maybe they will spark inspiration for you!
Ways to Embrace Ostara’s Energy:
• The Enchanted Egg Hunt – This is a tradition I absolutely love! Forget the candy-filled plastic eggs—let’s make it magical. Fill them with tiny treasures like crystals, dried herbs, written blessings, charms, or even small tarot or rune symbols. Then, invite your witchy crew over for a playful, energy-infused egg hunt that brings a little enchantment to the equinox.
• Planting Seeds with Intention – Every great journey starts with a single step, and every mighty oak begins as a seed. My coven incorporates a seed blessing into our Ostara rituals, and I’ve found it to be such a powerful practice. Choose seeds that align with your intentions—basil for abundance, lavender for peace, sunflowers for confidence. Charge them with your hopes, then plant them and nurture both the seeds and your goals as they grow. Bonus points if you decorate your pots with symbols, runes, or colors that reflect your vision!
• Fertility Magic for Life’s New Beginnings – Ostara is one of the three fertility sabbats, but this energy isn’t just about conceiving children—it’s about infusing any aspect of your life with fertile, creative energy. Whether you’re calling in a new job, home, relationship, or passion project, now is the time to harness that fresh, blossoming momentum. Create a ritual that resonates with you—candles, sigils, moon water, or even a simple meditation on what you wish to cultivate.
• Finding Balance in a Shifting Season – Ostara aligns with the Spring Equinox, the moment of perfect equilibrium between light and dark. It’s a reminder to check in with yourself: Where in your life do you need more balance? Where have you been giving too much—or not enough? As winter’s stillness melts into spring’s movement, it’s common to feel sluggish or ungrounded. Try a chakra balancing meditation, breathwork, a nature walk, or even a personal inventory of where your energy is flowing (or stuck). This is a season of recalibration—lean into it!
Ostara is an invitation to step into the light, to plant seeds of intention, and to embrace the wild, rising energy of spring. However you celebrate, may this season bring you clarity, joy, and the magic of new beginnings.
