    OSTARA

    By: magickal em
    “Ostara brings the Spring Equinox, and for most of
    us it means that spring has really and truly arrived.
    The world suddenly seems full of baby animals,
    soft-sky mornings, and everything green.”
    —LLEWELLYN’S 2021

    01
    WHO IS
    OSTARA?
    The origins of the spring sabbat name.
    Ostara, also known as Eostre, is the Germanic goddess of
    spring and fertility. Out of all of the sabbats, Ostara is the
    most well known in her connection to this sabbat and as to
    WHO
    why the sabbat celebrating the spring equinox is named after
    her.

    Aside from the obvious, there is a tale that pairs up with this

    OSTA
    sabbat.

    WHAT IS
    OSTARA?
    The history of Ostara.
    Ostara arrived on Earth one year to discover a bird with its
    wings frozen. In an attempt to heal the bird who was no
    longer able to fly, she turned it into a hare. She also gave it
    WHA
    the ability to lay colored eggs as a reminder of its previous
    life. However, the hare could only do so on one day out of the
    whole year. T IS
    OSTA
    There eventually was conflict between the hare (named
    Lepus) and the goddess. In retaliation, Ostara sent the hare up
    into the sky and is now what we know as the Lepus
    constellation.

    Ostara eventually grew to dislike the harsh actions she took,


    but knew she couldn’t reverse it. So, she gave Lepus the
    ability to come back to earth and lay his eggs one day out of
    the year.
    RA?
    Did You Know?: Ostara is the sabbat that Christianity took
    “inspiration” off of for a particular holiday that many of us
    (religious or not) celebrate now.
    WHA
    We know it as Easter, the time in which the Easter Bunny
    comes once a year to give kids candy, we gather as a family
    to dye eggs, and some may even have a feast.
    T IS
    Easter is the Christian holiday all about the resurrection of
    Jesus Christ after he was nailed on the cross and put in a
    grave.
