For the Pagans and Wiccans, what are doing for Ostara? Do you have any special traditions? I don't know what I'm going to do yet. I think right now I'm just going decorate my altar. How about Easter are you going to do anything fun?

I'm really happy, I'm going to start wiccan courses soon, and brush up on the basics!

We do need more pagan/wiccan discussion around these parts. I'll try to work on it.

Hi Star

Explain what Ostara is, I'm curious!

Ostara is the pagan spring holiday that Easter later took over. It is basically a celebration of the fertility of the earth ...hence all the bunny and egg symbology. It coincides with spring equinox.

I'll be taking my wee one to a children's Ostara ritual circle and activity event on the 20th.. not sure what the details will be until I get there. I'll try and report back how it went afterwards.

I want to do something fun, but I'll probably just pray, light candles, and ask for blessings. Celebrating Midsummer is the funnest in my opinion. Especially when it's hot out, you can spend your entire day outside, and frolic with fairies. Oh, I love summer. It's been a long winter in New England.

I don't know why I felt like mentioning this, but I'm going to a Chakra healing course on Wednesday, and I'm really exited.
