Ostara, the vernal equinox, marks the beginning of spring—a time of balance between day and night, light and dark. However, in some regions, Ostara still greets us with cold weather and snow. Here are some activities to celebrate Ostara when it is still cold and maybe snowy outside.
- Start an herb garden indoors. Plant seeds in pots on a sunny windowsill to welcome the essence of spring.
- Embrace the lingering winter by taking a nature walk. Observe the melting snow and look for signs of spring.
- Clear out the old to make room for new beginnings. It’s a physical and symbolic gesture towards welcoming the new season.
- Create an altar with symbols of spring such as eggs, flowers, and greenery—whatever you can find to represent rebirth and renewal.
These activities can help you connect with the energy of Ostara while honoring the unique conditions of your environment.
Wishing you a wonderful Ostara.
