Pronounced “oh-star-ah,” Ostara is a festival celebrating the coming of spring with the Spring Equinox, the time when the hours of light and dark are at equal length and are in perfectly equlilbrium. As a spring festival, plants and all new life act as the main symbols of this holiday.

For the first time, The Rooted Realm will host an Ostara workshop and ceremony where we will honor the Spring Equinox by potting fresh propagations in a variety of containers to bring spring inside.

Join us on Saturday, March 22 at Rooted HQ for this first-ever propagation party. RSVP below!

Can’t participate with us but still want to honor the holiday? Here’s some “Subtle Sabbats” rituals from Lindsay Squire’s The Witch of the Forest’s Guide to Natural Magick to inspire your day of Ostara:

• begin planning for a new project

• bring spring flowers inside your house to brighten your space

• go on a nature walk and look for signs of spring

• open your windows to let fresh air in

• sweep away bad energy out your front door
