Join Deb and Claire as we discuss the fourth spoke in the Wheel of the Year – Ostara. Ostara, the Vernal Equinox, occurs in the Northern Hemisphere this year on Friday, March 20, and we continue our celebration throughout the spring. The Wheel of the Year is an ever-spinning progression of eight primary holy days in the calendar, four of which are Solar holidays and honor the solstices and spring and autumn equinox. The other four holidays are referred to as Cross-quarter days, and spin on the wheel alternately between the solstice and equinox days. In this course you’ll learn:- What Ostara means to us today
- The historical and cultural significance of Ostara
- Symbols, lore, and legends of the holiday and how they came to be
- How the holiday shares symbols and beliefs with many other world cultures and belief systems
- The significance of those symbols and what they mean to you today.
- Ways to create Ostara rituals and altars and work with crystals and oils of the season
- How to create crafts of the holiday!
