Ostara (circa March 21), the Spring Equinox, also known as Spring, Rites of Spring and Eostra’s Day, marks the first day of true Spring.  The energies of Nature subtly shift from the sluggishness of Winter to the exhuberant expansion of Spring.  The Goddess blankets the Earth with fertility, bursting forth from Her sleep, as the God stretches and grows to maturity.  He walkes the greening fields and delights in the abundance of nature.

On Ostara the hours of day and night are equal.  Light is overtaking darkness; the Goddess and God impel the wild creatures of the Earth to reproduce.

This is a time of beginnings, of action, of planting spells for future gains, and of tending the ritual gardens.
