The Ostara Companion
We are so excited to introduce our new Ostara book, The Ostara Companion!
(There are several books already in this series. Find them here!)
As the earth warms, the witch's year, the Wheel of the Year, turns to Ostara.
Ostara, celebrated around the spring equinox, is a festival of renewal, balance, and the awakening of nature. Named after the Germanic goddess Ēostre, it marks the time when light and dark are in perfect harmony before the days grow longer.
This celebration is closely tied to themes of fertility, growth, and the potential for new beginnings, as the Earth bursts into bloom after winter’s dormancy. With symbols like the hare, egg, and spring flowers, Ostara invites us to honor the cycles of nature and embrace the opportunities for growth and transformation that lie ahead. Spring seasonal rites invite us to consider new perspectives and the role of growth and balance in our lives.
This companion to the Ostara holiday features meditations, journal prompts, coloring pages, spells, and information on Ostara to help you begin your seasonal reflections.
Its pages are for you to write, color, and make notes on as you work magic, whether you are part of an earth based spiritual group or you are a solo practitioner or spiritual seeker. May it bring you insight, inspiration, and joy.

Excerpt from The Ostara Companion: Rebirth Spell Jar
This spell is for welcoming change into your life so you can take root and grow this Ostara. Just like the earth, you are constantly renewing yourself. Give yourself a fresh spring start in general, or focus on a particular area of your life in which you would like to experience rebirth.
You will need:
White candle
Stick of incense
Jar with a lid
White or black salt for protection
Small decorative eggs symbolizing possibility
Flowers for spring
Green aventurine for growth
Lavender for clarity
Use your preferred method for preparing for spellwork. Or: Take a few deep breaths and center yourself. When your energy is calm, continue to concentrate on your breathing, feeling your power rise.
Light a white candle. Light a stick of incense of your choice and slowly draw a circle around yourself and your working space.
Arrange your spell jar items on the workspace in front of you. Spend a few minutes meditating on how you want to experience rebirth in your life. Set your intentions for the spell jar.
When you are ready, take the incense in one hand and bless each item with the incense smoke. As you place the item in the jar, whisper the word rebirth. Close the jar.
When you are ready, thank the universe for assisting you. Spin slowly in the opposite direction of the incense and blow out the candle.
Place the spell jar somewhere you can see it throughout the Ostara season. Disassemble it at the end of the season.

About Ostara
About Ostara: The spring equinox holiday on the Wheel of the Year, the witch's year.
Ostara, celebrated around the spring equinox, is a joyful festival that marks the balance between light and dark, symbolizing the transition from winter’s stillness to the vibrant energy of spring.
Named after the Germanic goddess Ēostre, who embodies renewal, fertility, and dawn, this holiday celebrates the awakening of the Earth as nature stirs to life.
As the days grow longer and the sun’s warmth returns, Ostara encourages us to embrace new beginnings, personal growth, and the potential for transformation. It is a time to honor the natural cycles of rebirth and renewal, recognizing that every ending makes way for a fresh start.
The traditions of Ostara are filled with symbols that represent fertility, abundance, and new life. Eggs, often decorated during the festival, symbolize potential and the promise of growth, while the hare represents fertility and vitality, as it is a creature known for its rapid reproduction.
Other symbols of the season include flowers, particularly those that bloom in early spring, and the colors green, yellow, and pastel shades, which reflect the fresh energy of spring.
Ostara shows us a way to connect with nature, plant seeds—both literal and metaphorical—and embrace the opportunities for growth, creativity, and transformation that the season offers.
