Welcome to the beginning of Spring; Happy Oestara

Today is the Spring Equinox, the solar festival called Oestara. Growth is happening in Nature and the hours of night and day are equally balanced and the light will start to outstrip the dark with the sun growing in power. Days are starting to get warm although we can still get a frost.
It is time to plant seeds and this represents our goals and wishes for the coming months.

Today, have some spring flowers in your home and burn pastel coloured candles welcoming the rebirth and bringing light and growth into your life. Pagans celebrate this ancient festival by painting designs on eggs to symbol fertility, by using seed magic and feasting on hot cross buns and simnel cake.
