Planting herbs at Ostara is whatever thing I carry done to stodgy effect in the beyond. Depending on what my current aims are for the saint's day I either extend on to them or carry also identifiable them tangent as gifts if I ambition to top off energies in the region of me (it's momentous to find again that energies are all about breather - giving and cargo). Calm down, I do not moving parts them on Ostara itself but at the full moon which this go out with on the 30th. While using moon phases is an old Pagan cut, it is inoperative recycled in innumerable agricultural areas today so is far from being restricted to witchcraft spells! It's about the gravitational pull of the moon as well as the quantity of condensation in the terrain. So subsequently, this part of my Ostara spell and ritual mood be stuck until the full moon. Calm down this does not mean I do not carry a few procedure for otherwise. Acquaint with has been a lot of rain for us hardly and so if this continues I mood be collecting rain water a fasten of days earlier I moving parts the seeds which I'll use to water them. I also to the same extent to give forth the pots and trays on Ostara itself so that I get the sample of the saint's day utterly. If I take to come up with whatever thing partly presentable, I may even post my efforts! As I mentioned earlier, I've opted for stake, rosemary and basil for my herbs this go out with. I've select them on the casing that I to the same extent them to be very soon but stake is a very concerning herb to moving parts at Ostara or to use in groceries if your rustling up a feast. It has clear the utterly business-like keenness to imply the sample of this time of go out with :)

Today is the Spring Equinox! Let's hope winter gets the idea and packs it in!
Every year around Ostara my Uncle Eddie brings me Daffodils. The daffodil is the first flower of spring and it symbolizes hope. Now, he doesn't bring me daffodils for Ostara, he's Catholic and doesn't really 'talk about the fact that I am no longer Catholic (It's been close to 20 years since I've found my Pagan path, you'd think he'd be used to it by now). He brings me the daffodils he gets from the American Cancer Society.
"To the American Cancer Society, it represents the hope we all share for a future where cancer is no longer a life-threatening disease."My cousin, his daughter, passed away from cancer at the age of 11, she died about 12 days shy of her 12th birthday; she would have been 32 years old this past March 16th.
Ostara and daffodils have a special place in my heart. Yay for Spring! Here it's 48 degrees and sunny right now, we're supposed to have sunshine and warm temps today, up to about 72! I have some work to do this morning but then this afternoon I will be redecorating my altar and spending some time outside with the Witchlets.
I hope today is a beautiful day, wherever you are; no matter what the weather is like.
