Happy Ostara!

OSTARA (pronounced O-STAR-ah) is usually celebrated on the Vernal or Spring Equinox. Other names by which this Sabbat may be known are Oestara, Eostre's Day, Rite of Eostre, Alban Eilir, Festival of the Trees, and Lady Day.

The name for this Sabbat actually comes from that of the Teutonic lunar Goddess, Eostre. Her chief symbols were the bunny (for fertility and because the Ancient Ones who worshipped her often saw the image of a rabbit in the full moon), and the egg (representing the cosmic egg of creation). She is the Goddess of Renewal and her aspects are personal renewal, new beginnings, rebirth, and fertility.

This is compliments of our dear friend, Kami. Thanks Kami!

We've been invited to our friend's Kami and Susan's home for an Ostara Brunch this Sunday and in celebration of Eostre, they'll be commemorating the season by planting a tree.

Last year we had a cook-out at the beach and ate chili-burgers and peeps and about 6 hours later, I almost shit my pants.
