What is the Spring Equinox?

The Spring Equinox occurs around March 20th–23rd when the sun crosses the celestial equator, creating an equal length of day and night. This astronomical event marks the official arrival of spring, symbolizing a shift from darkness to light, from stillness to movement.

Spiritually, this is a time of:☀️ Balance – A reminder to harmonize our mind, body, and soul.🌱 Growth – Just as nature bursts into life, we too can plant the seeds of our dreams.✨ Manifestation – The perfect time to set intentions and take action.


Ostara: The Ancient Celebration of Spring

Ostara, named after the Germanic goddess Eostre, is a Pagan and Wiccan festival celebrating fertility, renewal, and abundance. Many modern Easter traditions—such as eggs, rabbits, and flowers—have their roots in this ancient holiday.

Did you know?The word "Easter" is believed to have originated from Eostre, and the symbolism of eggs and hares were once offerings made to her in honor of fertility and creation.
