Happy Spring Equinox! Today is a day of balance.
On this day, light overtakes the dark, signaling a rebirth of life and the perfect time to embrace new beginnings and fresh ideas. Focus on planting not just in your garden but in your daily life, dreams, and goals. This solar festival of fire, light, and fertility invites serious meditation on your hopes for the coming year. As spring awakens, flowers bloom, and birds chirp, it’s time to open the windows, stretch wide, and perform a thorough spring cleaning. Cleanse, purify, and protect your home from harmful energies by washing windows, doors, and floors with Moon water and lemon juice, sprinkling some on carpets, and pouring it down drains. Keep tulips for prosperity, hang linens outside to absorb Ostara’s energies, and collect rainwater for plant and prosperity magic. Craft a besom from tree branches for spiritual cleaning, and make fertility charms from blown eggs filled with herbs like chickweed, cornflower, fennel, or parsley.
