Ostara Celebration 20th March
Ostara is a celebration in the Wheel of the Year, which is a pagan and Wiccan calendar marking the cycles of nature and seasonal changes. Ostara, named after the Germanic goddess Eostre (or Ostara), is typically observed around the spring equinox, usually occurring between March 19 and March 23. It is a festival that honors the arrival of spring, the rebirth of nature, and the balance between light and darkness.
The origins of Ostara are tied to pre-Christian traditions and the worship of Eostre, a goddess associated with fertility, renewal, and the dawn. In Germanic and Anglo-Saxon traditions, Eostre was revered as a goddess of spring who symbolized new life, growth, and the awakening of the earth after the long, cold winter months.
The name “Ostara” comes from this goddess, and the festival is said to celebrate the lengthening days and the return of warmth and fertility to the land.
Come and join us for a wonderful ritual evening where we will honour the goddess Eostre. During the ritual we will open a circle and call in the quarter guardians, share libations and perform Spellwork. We will then end the evening with food, drink and good company.
