  • TikTok & Instagram: @cassia.willow Email: cassiawillowwitch@gmail.com March 20th, 2024, marks the celebration of Ostara. As Imbolc heralds fertilization, Ostara dances in as the birth, akin to Mabon's embrace in the southern hemisphere. Drawing from the rich tapestry of Greece, Rome, Nordic, and Germanic lands, Ostara whispers tales of resurrection and renewal. Let's debunk the myth of appropriation by unraveling the threads of history – Easter, a Roman offspring, was inspired by Ostara, a semiannual affirmation of pagan heritage. Delve into the mystical realms as we illuminate the enigmatic Goddess Eostre. While written evidence is scant, scholars trace her lineage to the Proto-Indo-European goddess of dawn, Hewsos. Despite scholarly musings, belief breathes life into deities, transcending time's constraints. Eostre, harbinger of growing light, infuses each dawn with radiant hope and blessings. Our pagan ancestors, in reverence, ignited fires at the dawn's first blush, as waters drawn held sacred cleansing properties. Maidens, draped in purity, embarked on pilgrimages to wild woods, weaving tales of ancient rituals and offerings. Amidst feasting and merriment, Eostre's essence thrived, a testament to the enduring spirit of renewal. Embark on a journey through myth and legend as we unveil Eostre's benevolence. Picture a tender dawn, where Eostre, touched by compassion, breathes life into a frozen bird, birthing the first rabbit – a symbol of hope and fertility. While whispers of Ishtar's influence linger, Eostre's presence remains steadfast in the pagan pantheon, weaving magic through the tapestry of Ostara's lore. Embrace the whimsy of Ostara with a palette of pastels – greens, blues, and pinks, echoing nature's vibrant hues. Crystals glisten in harmony – amethyst, moonstone, and rose quartz, beckoning abundance and renewal. Indulge in a feast fit for gods and goddesses, with offerings ranging from honey cakes to dandelion greens, a celebration of life's bountiful harvest. Partake in a sacred Egg Ritual, channeling the fertile energies of spring towards creative endeavors. Ignite the flame of intention as you infuse an uncooked egg with the essence of renewal. With each flicker of the candle, breathe life into your aspirations, releasing them into the earth's embrace. As the candle wanes, bury the egg and ashes, symbolizing the union of intention and earth's nurturing embrace. Join us in embracing the magic of Ostara, where each dawn heralds a symphony of renewal and rebirth. Blessed be!
