Ostara Ritual
Just finished with my Ostara ritual. I thought I had done one last year, but looking back at my notes, I didn’t start doing rituals until Litha. So this is my first Ostara ritual. As with my other rituals, I kept is small and simple … although it lasted longer than any of my previous rituals.
First, here’s a little information on the sabbat. Ostara, also known as the Spring or Vernal Equinox, is one of 2 dates where day and night are equal (the other being Mabon). After this day, the days gradually get longer as the light triumphs over the dark, until Midsummer. The Goddess is honored in her maiden persona, and the God as youthful. The sabbat takes its name from Eostra (Ostara), the Goddess of the Dawn, the Saxon Goddess who heralds the triuphant rebirth of the Sun and the return of the greening season. Rabbits (hares) were companions of Eostra, and She is still often pictured with a hare by Her side.
Ostara is the beginning of the fertility festivals. Buds begin to push their way to the earth’s surface to reach the sun’s light; animals in the wild feel the ancestrial instinct to breed, the energies of Nature shift from the cold of winter, to the warmth of spring. It is a time of new beginnings, of saying good-bye to the old and making room for the new.
Symbols of this holiday include eggs, rabbits, and flowers of all kinds. The modern secular activity of dying Easter eggs are remnants of ancient Pagan traditions. The Anglo-Saxons painted eggs with their hopes and dreams and presented them as a gift to Eostra. These eggs were then buried in the Earth, so that the Earth-Mother would know the dreams of her children, in hopes that She would see fit to hepl them realize their desires.
On to the the ritual!
I set up my alter with my candles (Goddess and God, Fire, and a yellow one for the Sabbat), incense (jasmine), athame, chalice of milk (don’t have wine), bell, water, salt, colored Ostara eggs, offering bowl, parchment, feather pen and ink and the papers outlining the ritual.
I cast my circle, invited the Goddess and God by chanting:
Blessed be this Sabbat circle
In the divine name of Ostara
Ancient goddess of fertility and spring
In her sacred name
And under her protection
Is the Sabbat rite now begun
I took the athame in my right hand and kneeled before my alter. With the blade held over my heart I said
Blessed be the fertility goddess,
Blessed be her springtime rite,
Blessed be the sun god king,
Blessed be his sacred light.
I then placed the athame over the third eye region of my forehead and said
The sun has crossed the celestial equator,
Giving sun and moon equal hours.
Goddess spring is reborn at last,
Her beauty gives life
To the trees and flowers.
Blessed be the divine green goddess
She is the creatress of all living things.
Blessed be the lord of the greenwood.
To goddess and god
This song I sing.
Awaken one, awaken all
And hear the voice of the goddess call.
Blessed be our mother earth,
May she be filled with peace.
Magick, and love.
The goddess breathes life.
The goddess gives life.
The goddess is life.
She reigns supreme.
So mote it be!
I then sat and meditated for a little while on spring and everything coming into bloom and the Goddess and God running through the springtime meadows.
Next, using the parchment, feather pen and ink, I write down my desires for the coming year. I cut paper into strips, one desire per strip. Holding the folded strips up to the Gods, I say
This is a joyous time, a time for planting.
With joy and trust, I place these requests
in the hands of the Goddes and Her Lord.
I then light each slip of parchment with the Fire candle and set it to burn in the cauldron. After placing the last strip in, I say
These though-seeds I do willingly place
into the hands of the Lady and Her Lord,
that these desires and dreams may
manifest and become reality.
By the free will of All, and
with harm to none,
as I will, so shall it be done.
I sat down and ate the eggs and drank the milk in honor of the Goddess and God, leaving a bit of each in the offering bowl.
Once finished, I then thanked the Goddess and God for attending the ritual in their honor. I closed the circle.
Merry Ostara!

I ndid this ritual yesterday and I must say, I loved it!
It was my very first time casting a circle, much less directing a Sabbat ritual. It was incredibly simple like you said, and even my non-Pagan mother participated and really enjoyed herself. I’m hoping to use some more of your rituals later on!
