I've been collecting new Ostara pics today, so I wanted to share some with you. I might post a few more to help inspire everyone.

I still want jellybeans. And now I want malted milk balls. I think I need to stop at the store tomorrow and get some Starburst jellybeans. They're the best. They don't have black ones.

I love Ostara! Its my favorite! I just love Spring and the idea behind Ostara with renewing and new beginnings and such! Oh and flowers! I love flowers! I plan on taking seeds and blessing them, then carving a rune of something I wish to gain on the seed and then plant it! As the seed grows, my wish grows! <3 Blessed Ostara!

Well in previous years I have simply done a small ritual alone :)

But this year I have big plans!

I am going to start the day by taking a walk to the nearest pair of standing stones to sit in between them and meditate and think of the beauty of Spring which is to come and how the Earth is changing and coming out from it's dark and cold winters into warmer days...and how I could do this too.

Once I have done this I will trek down to the beach nearby and collect some sea glass to make jewelry with eventually :)

I will then go back to a friends house where we will be having a big Ostara feast with my Magical group of lovely Witches :)

We will then share stories and myths associated with the holiday and do some fun activities with one of the Witches' little girl.

Once the sun sets it's time to pull out the robes and cloaks for a ritual out in the garden. Our group hasn't been blessed and bonded together as of yet. And so we will be doing a ritual to mark this, and the holiday.

I hope everyone has a wonderful time! :flyingwitch:

I have booked the day off work especially, and have a few bits planned. I'm going to make some chocolate nest cakes with mini eggs, me and my partner are going to go for a walk by the river, and maybe visit the garden centre to get some new plants. I think I will be spending most of the day just thinking of all the beauty about to reemerge after a very wet/flooded winter. That and eating chocolate nests!! :D

haha for those that liked the sound of the turkey legs (u can also do it with the wings)
I found the recipe online, id recommend less salt though, it does come out salty
and the temperature and oven time is a bit off..I just set it to 450 and kept an eye on it
