OSTARA ALTAR

Ava and I created the most magical Ostara altar yesterday to welcome in Spring. The elements just flowed together effortlessly once we started gathering. As much as I am an Autumn girl, I must say that I equally adore the energy of spring. Maybe even more-so in my current time-space. After we gathered + arranged the altar, Ava was ready to go play with her friends. I sat with it while the candle burned all the way down and wrote. At first a poem came out that I will share below, and then a list of all the things I want to grow in abundance over this next season. Today I will plant that list in the earth, cover it with some flower seeds, and tend to it everyday. I think my word for this year is TEND. It keeps coming up for me and it just feels life giving.

OSTARA POEM

As the butterfly emerges from it’s cocoon,

I too unfurl and bloom.

I feel the sprouts of becoming

Tugging on my wings,

As the winds shift and welcome spring.

Teased out of my slumber

by sun kissed love letters,

Pulling me up from down under

with bird song and joyful flutter.

Beckoning blossoms begging to be seen

Reminding me of who I’m meant to be.

An offering of transformation and rebirth

A re-membering of my irridescent self worth.

If you haven’t yet, go poke around your home and see what elements you can bring together for a spring altar. Maybe it will inspire you to plant some seeds within yourself and your life that you would like to see blossom in the coming months.

Did you notice the little butterfly talisman added to the candle bowl? My friend Jenny inspired this. She has a collection of my talisman necklaces and says that she uses them in her altars + rituals. Maybe one day she will come share all about it with us. Also, beautiful handpainted deer rock is by Lotus and Nightshade.
