A blessed Ostara everyone! Spring is here, we’re moving towards longer days,
the world is waking up, and hopefully your creativity, intuition, and
inspiration, are, too! Just as we are ready to celebrate the arrival of Spring,
with its cheery daffodils, lambs, and crocuses; we take this time to celebrate
the divine also.
Ostara Ritual
The purple candle represents the divine in our
lives. You don’t need to believe in a particular deity; it can represent
anything you consider divine - including the divine being that is you.
Perform this ritual outside, early in the morning
if you can. It is now time to wake up and reconnect with the energies of the
Sun and the Earth, and observe the energetic shift as we move through the
wheel.
If
your tradition requires you to cast a circle, do so.
Light the purple candle.
Steady yourself, breathe the fresh air, observe and acknowledge what is
happening around you.
Spring
is here, a time for cheer!
We move on swiftly through the year.
The divine makes its presence known,
I observe the changes I am shown.
Flowers, lambs, the growing season,
More intuition, thought, and reason.
Connect again with Mother Earth,
Observe her blossom, and give birth.
Absorb the energy, and the light,
A longer day, a shorter night.
I give thanks for all you give to me;
The Divine, I cherish thee.
Take
a moment to meditate on the flame. Think about all that you are grateful for.
Think about the divine, and how you fit into this concept. When the time is
right end the ritual.
