OSTARA/ Blessings of the Spring and Weekly Tarot Reveal!

Ostara is the Goddesss of the dawn. This day marks the beginning of Spring and is also linked to the Equinox. In the wheel of the year we have the opportunity to celebrate two Equinoxes. Equinoxes mark days where there is equal day and night, equal amounts of light and dark. Equinox is a time of finding or resetting balance. This Equinox marks the vernal Equinox Where we are welcoming now light onto the earth. Today and tomorrow are auspicious times to clear, cleanse and start planting metaphysical seeds for the Spring. Below are 8 ways to honour this auspicious moment in time and space.

1. CLEAN: Go through your closets and cabinets. Sort clothes and objects into three categories a.Stay b. Give away c. Throw away

2 CLEAN: Connect with the element of water. Take a herbal bath. I recommended using SUN By Dropping seeds. Make a strong tea and add to your bath water or cool and pour over your body in the shower. Have the intention to be cleansed of anything that no longer serves you.

3. CLEAR: Use sage to clear the space in your home with potent smoke, followed by sweetgrass to bring in sweetness. 

4. CLEAR: Clear your inner space by writing down on a small paper any thoughts,beliefs,or habits you are ready to let go of. If you feel called burn this and scatter on your garden or the earth.

5. COLLECT: Start to gather seeds for things you might want to grow. Pick the flowers, fruits or foods that will be nourishing to see and ingest.

6. COLLECT: Gather the seeds of your intentions. What projects or ideas would you like to see grow and blossom this spring. Write these down as plant in your garden or just keep it in a place you can cone back to from time to time.

7. CHANT: Chant or sing. Sound is so healing. Put on your favorite song and sing along feeling the good vibrations fill your whole being. The Pavana mantra is dedicated to calling in the lightyou might want to try is: 

Aum Asatoma sat gamaya
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
Mrityor ma amritam gamaya
Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti
