Ostara is here, and with it, the first fragile signs of spring are blossoming around us. This sacred day falls on the vernal equinox when the day and night are in perfect balance before the days get longer. You can tap into this balance in nature by using Ostara as a catalyst to make a positive change in your life and rid yourself of negative energy.
Ostara is the perfect time to slow down and celebrate yourself, as well as your next chapter—whatever that may be. Self-care is so important, especially in today’s hectic world. Ostara is the perfect time to renew yourself and heal after the stress of winter. Traditionally, Ostara is a time for growth and fertility. It is a time to start something new or repair something old; to cleanse negativity, start over, or start fresh. Now is also the time to plant seeds, both literal and metaphysical, that will grow throughout the rest of the year.
You can find some items below that will help you tap into the pure energy of Ostara and spiritually pamper yourself.
