Ostara is a pagan holiday celebrated on the vernal equinox period. "The 'Easter'' was stolen from Astarte. Originally, Easter was known as "Ashtar." This holiday coincides with the Spring Equinox, when day and night are equal. It was known as "Eastre" to the Anglo-Saxons. As the Goddess of fertility, Astarte was associated with rabbits and eggs.
Christians stole this holiday and twisted its meaning. Other names for this holiday include Easter, Eastre, Eos, Eostre, Ester, Estrus ( Estrus is when an animal is in heat; the mating season), Oestrus, Oistros and Ostara. Again, the "lamb of god" was stolen from the sign Aries, which occurs every spring.
The Spring Equinox is a perfect time to mark the coming of spring and the rebirth of nature, so you can choose to take some walks in nature or in the forest, do some ''spring cleaning'' (both physically and spiritually), drink tea, plant flowers or simply cook eggs.
Ostara mainly celebrates Lady Astarte, who was revered and deeply loved by all ancient pagan religions. On these special days it is recommended that you tune in more to Her energy by meditating on Her sigil, through a ritual of thanksgiving or by performing the New Ritual for Astarte posted by HPHC.
Again, 20 mar. is a very good time for starting a kabalistic square of Sun, for working on the solar chakra and with fire energy, for starting Magnum Opus, for increasing your protection and vitality and meditating with the pleasant energy of the Sun.
Happy Ostara! Hail Lady Astarte!
