The Winds expose the lightning of the scent of the death. The Light of the dead brings joy into our hearts.
Ostara, also known as the Spring Equinox, is the midpoint between the
two Solstices and the day and night are in perfect balance. The light of
day is on the increase with each passing day from Ostara onward.
It is at this sabbat that the young Sun God now celebrates a
hierogamy, or a sacred marriage, with the young Maiden Goddess, who
conceives at this time. In nine months, she will again become the Great
Mother. This sabbat is a time of great fertility, new growth, and
newborn animals. The next full moon, a period shown to have a time of
increased births, is called the Ostara and is sacred to Eostre the Saxon
Lunar Goddess of fertility, (which is from where we get the word
estrogen), whose two symbols were the egg and the rabbit.
Later
in time, the Christians adopted these emblems for Easter, (the egg and
rabbit), which is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full
moon following the vernal equinox. The theme of the conception of the
Goddess was adapted as the Feast of the Annunciation, occurring on the
alternative fixed calendar date of March 25 Old Lady Day, the earlier
date of the equinox. Lady Day may also refer to other goddesses (such as
Venus and Aphrodite), many of whom have festivals celebrated at this
time.
Ostara is a time for renewal and rededication to the path.
