Celebrating the Spring Equinox: Ancient Roots & Modern Magic 🌱

The Spring Equinox, also called Ostara in many pagan traditions, marks the moment when day and night stand in perfect balance. From this point forward, light overtakes darkness—a symbol of renewal, growth, and the Earth’s reawakening.

Historically, cultures worldwide celebrated this time with festivals honouring fertility deities (like the Germanic Ēostre or the Roman Cybele) and rituals to bless crops, homes, and new beginnings. Eggs, hares, and seeds became potent symbols of life’s unstoppable creative force.  

Modern Witches & the Equinox
Today, witches honor this liminal time by:  
Creating balance: Cleansing spaces, releasing stagnant energy, and setting intentions.  
Planting seeds (literal & metaphorical): Starting gardens or manifesting goals for the year ahead.  
Celebrating light: Lighting yellow or green candles, decorating altars with spring flowers, or crafting egg charms for prosperity.  

Bonus Spell: Spring Equinox Seed of Intention
You’ll need: A seed (any type), a small pot of soil, a green candle.  

1. Light the candle, focusing on a goal you wish to grow this year.  
2. Hold the seed in your hands, whispering your intention into it (e.g., “Root this hope, let it bloom true”).  
3. Plant the seed in the soil, saying: “By earth and light, my dream takes flight.”
4. Place the pot in sunlight. Tend it as your intention grows!
