If You Were Born on March 22, Happy Birthday!

Blue HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARD
Happy Birthday!

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS March 22, you are a fun loving person that never meets a stranger. Your zodiac sign is Aries and you are impulsive, vibrant, and passionate. Although you are a bit high strung, you have a way to bring people together.

Yes, people are drawn to you, Aries because you know how to make a person feel special. Your birthday characteristics show you to be intuitive and you know what to say in certain situations to change people’s attitudes and this is what makes those born on this day special.On the other hand, if you are a March 22 Aries birthday, you like to push buttons.

You like to see what happens if you do this or what happens if you do that. Needless to say, you like taking risks. This could be very exciting to you and those that live their lives through you.

The negative side of 22 March birthday personality trait is that you can be an awesome team leader but not a team player. Most of the time, you have your own ideas and have trouble following directions.

This is not good for those of you born on March 22. It can cause conflicts between you and your friends or family, co-workers and your boss.

Mainly, what you desire is security across the board but you cannot seem to get those relationships right. With friends, you can be a bit wishy-washy. Today, you can be friends but tomorrow, you may not be!

What in the world is happening, Aries? You cannot treat people as if they are dolls. You cannot take them off the shelf when it is convenient for you. Friendships just do not work that way. Work on this, as you would not want it done to you.

The 22 March birthday horoscope predicts that as an Aries, you are subject to romantic relationships that give you security. You like to be with someone who mirrors your aspirations.

Someone who can keep your ego on an even keel but this is hard to do, Aries. You love the attention and those like you, get their share and it can sometimes, make you jealous. Oh, you are so confusing.

If today is your birthday, you are a workaholic and risk-taker. You need to concentrate on professions that will distinguish yourself as an activist. You have high expectations and need to make calculated efforts to ensure success with unlimited potential.

Arians, take it one step at a time… crossing off each goal as they are completed. You see the big picture and strive to be financially and personally content with your life. You can excel at anything you do when it comes to your profession.

As the March 22nd birthday astrology predicts, you have positive energy but can be quite moody. Aries people are likely to have health problems relating to the nerves or will suffer with sinus issues, skin rashes, and gum disease.

Some of you will be accident prone leading to head injuries. Did you know that some say that the mole or birthmark on your face has a certain meaning? Most of you born on this day will have this mark.

Arians love company as you bring out the best in people. You are fun to be around. While this is true, you have a tendency to take friendships for granted. One day you guys are cool and the next, you are not speaking.

Aries zodiac birthday March 22nd, have trouble following. You cannot take orders and have a hard time following the script. You can be moody but you will make a great leader.

The Daily Horoscopes for Friday, March 22

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 2 PM to 10:30 PM EDT today (11 AM to 7:30 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a wonderful day to schmooze with others; however, do be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert above because during that window of time, you should not agree to anything critical. Do not sign important papers. Do not spend money on anything other than food, gas or entertaining diversions. Enjoy your day!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is a mixed blessing at work because in one way, you will get along well with coworkers, customers and everyone with whom you come in contact. However, during the Moon Alert time, you might suffer from shortages, delays and of course, the financial restrictions of the Moon Alert. (Don’t spend money.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a fabulous, creative day! It’s a particularly wonderful day for those of you who work in the arts, the entertainment world, the hospitality industry and any creative project that appeals to you. Today you are imaginative because your mind can think outside of the box.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a lovely day to entertain at home and to enjoy good times with family members. During the Moon Alert (see above) restrict your spending to gas, food and entertainment. Family discussions will be frank and meaningful. Good day to let your hair down.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your communications with others are excellent today, especially before the Moon Alert begins and afterwards. However, during the Moon Alert time, agree to nothing important. Instead, write down your creative ideas and enjoy schmoozing with others! Wait until tomorrow to act.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might be focused on money, cash flow and financial matters; nevertheless, be aware of the window of time when the Moon Alert occurs. During this time, avoid financial decisions and spending money on anything other than gas, food and entertainment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relations with others are smooth, charming and agreeable today. You will enjoy talking to everyone from all walks of life. However because of the Moon Alert (see above) agree to nothing important. Restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Despite your keen efforts to work hard and be efficient, today will be more of a loosey-goosey day because for most of this day, there is a Moon Alert in effect. When this occurs, agree to nothing important and restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Enjoy schmoozing with friends and groups today because this is a wonderful day for a luncheon or to meet your friends for Happy Hour! Keep things light hearted and steer clear of important decisions. Restrict your spending to food, gas and entertaining diversions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a favourable time to explore financial deals and boost your income. However, do not engage in any financial transactions during the Moon Alert today (see above). Protect yourself and save your money. Restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a wonderful day to socialize with others because everyone feels friendly, including you. Make plans to meet friends and have some laughs. During the time of the Moon Alert (see above), avoid important decisions and restrict spending to food, gas and entertainment.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Although you are focused on issues regarding shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances, do not act on these financial matters during the Moon Alert today. Confine your spending to food, gas and entertainment. However, this is a lovely day to socialize!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Your Daring Dating Horoscopes for the Weekend of March 22

David Wells, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

Aries
With Venus out of your social sky, it could be time to reflect on what you really want from love, time go full on Moon gazing as you contemplate your place in the universe and is that person from accounts really going to be the one? When looking for a soulmate it pays to put the effort in Aries.

Taurus
It’s tick-tock time on Mars as he’s running out of influence direct from Taurusville and as your relationship ruler it would be a shame not to use his passion, his thrust. To bring balance, your alluring ruler Venus is moving into your social sky. Passion and allure, what can you do with that?

Gemini
Finding the right person isn’t easy, what does he or she look like and are looks really that important? Maybe in the first instance, but as you get to know someone it’s important he or she can keep up with you Gem, I mean in conversations to be clear! Stand by. Here comes the complete package.

Cancer
With the union of Saturn and Pluto it’s all to play for with everything from marriage counselling to mates mediating in an ongoing love match you hope to resolve. Some may ask you if it’s all worth it, it clearly is, or you wouldn’t be putting yourself through it. Right?

 
Leo
What is about music that invokes memories like very little else? A song can transport you back to your youth, dancing at your local and flirting like it had just been discovered. That Leo. If it takes some tunes and another go at fitting into that outfit so be it; find your flirt and make it work.
Virgo
Mercury is lifting, partially lifting, some of the restrictions you’ve been under as far as finding something a little more permanent on the love front and with Venus joining in, it could be faster than you expected. No fewer than five planets are sticking their nose into your love business. Get on it.
Libra
Having released, breathe, take your time and consider what you want next. Dating isn’t something you pick up on in any specific time scale, we are all different, so find your own flow Libra and work with it. I said find your own! Why ask everyone you know what to do next? Find your own flow. Worn out.

Scorpio
Now you know what you don’t want, now you’ve spent weeks, months or even years with someone who wasn’t it, you can finally focus on someone who is. Mercury might provide a few false starts yet, little tests, appetizers before the main course if you like, and what a main course it is. Yummo.

 
Sagittarius
Why would you care what someone else thought or said? You’re the sort who explores, finds things out for themselves and you really don’t need anyone else telling you anything about his or her past, who they saw, what they did. Some folks relish it, live for the gossip and that’s what it is; gossip. Ignore.

 
Capricorn
Thefty astrology is pushing the K word your way; Karma. Before you run for a tin hat and some sturdy table to hide under, remember that when it comes to soulmates, Karma can be your biggest ally. A fated meeting is just that, unavoidable. What you do when you meet him or her is your call.

Aquarius
How you do feel when a mate ghosts you? Suddenly he or she isn’t there, where have they gone? This week you could get that treatment from a would be love interest, perhaps you’ve had a date or two? Good. True colours shown and you can move on to someone very much in the here and now.

Pisces
Venus is heading for your sign, surely that’s a good thing for your love life? Sure is but like all good things you might have to wait for that hot date as Mercury is still on the huffy bus, destination The Glums. You could turn things around? Shift of attitude, shift into receiving all the adoration.

Taurus Daily Love Horoscope

Friday 22nd of March 2019

Passion could intensify but don’t allow it to distract you from the many subtle nuances permeating your love life at this time.

It’s your honest and authentic feelings that need to be released, and in a controlled way – for now!

Taurus tomorrow love horoscope:

Saturday 23rd of March 2019

It’s important to accept that whatever you convey or project to a loved one or a potential partner will come straight back to you, so you have a choice about whether this is a positive or negative experience. Romantic or relationship progress relies on you sending out a vibe of positivity rather than anything negative, tense or awkward. Radiate love and compassion, and see how both help to form or strengthen one special connection.

Aries Daily Love Horoscope

Friday 22nd of March 2019

If your desire to control any aspect of a romantic relationship intensifies, then it’s important to accept the complications this could bring. You want to bring positive changes, but your approach could be overpowering to a loved one and that’s far from sexy. Dial back the pressure and try a more sensitive approach. You could find common ground with a loved one that eliminates any need to be controlling. Focus instead on where you know agreement exists.

Aries tomorrow love horoscope:

Saturday 23rd of March 2019

Any imbalance or disruption in your emotional world could be felt both emotionally and physically at this time. You might also be aware of how much your energy is drained by having to deal with whatever arises. However, you owe it to yourself to apply some self-care and to not focus so intently on what is worrying or makes you feel anxious. Try to see whatever feels uncertain as a clear sign of progression, or a relationship evolving.

Aquarius Daily Love Horoscope

Friday 22nd of March 2019

You want to bring more light and laughter to your emotional world, especially if you feel a growing sense of positivity and optimism in your life generally. You’ve had enough of what’s mundane or serious and are right to focus your passionate efforts on bringing a ray of sunshine to affairs of the heart or one special connection. Don’t lose sight of this goal because the transformation you can bring could be far-reaching or profound – and in potentially many delightful ways!

Aquarius tomorrow love horoscope:

Saturday 23rd of March 2019

The idea of creating more structure in your emotional world or one special connection probably doesn’t excite you as much as allowing your romantic circumstances to unfold on their own, in their own way and time. Try not to succumb to a sense of pressure to formalize or restrict something sweet unfolding organically. It’s by setting overly high or rigid expectations that you can bring complications to matters of the heart now.

CALL IN THE POWER OF SPRING’S MOST MAGICAL TRANSITS

CALL IN THE POWER OF SPRING’S MOST MAGICAL TRANSITS

Astrological magic had its heyday in the medieval period, when kings and queens ruled the lands. Magic can be seen as metaphorical attempts to gain the favor of the sovereign, and many of the stipulations around when to practice magic are based around the idea of finding the ruler in a good mood, willing and able to help. Planets traversing one of their favorite places, known as dignities, symbolize just such rulers—those who are content in their special place and willing to marshal resources to the aid of those they favor.

DIURNAL SECT IN DIGNITIES

After the sun moves into Aries on March 20, a period begins in which Jupiter, Saturn, and the sun are all in signs of their dignity. These three planets belong to what was called the diurnal sect. This means that they are fundamentally yang, or masculine, in nature, and so are seen to exert their greatest powers in the daytime. Together, these three happy and helpful rulers signify propitious opportunities for bold forceful action (sun in Aries), forward-looking and expansive enterprises (Jupiter in Sagittarius), and structured approaches toward long term objectives (Saturn in Capricorn). Thus, the period from March 20 until April 10—when Jupiter turns retrograde—represents a rare opportunity to combine and harness all three of these magical influences at once. This is especially true on Sunday, April 7 as the sun applies to trine Jupiter and the feminine/nocturnal planets Venus and the moon are also in their dignities, for a total of five out of seven classical planets in signs of their dignity.

 

VENUS CONJUNCT FOMALHAUT

Another condition for magical activity is when planets are conjunct bright stars. The stars give gifts of power and protection from beyond the spheres of the planets, a sign of eminence. On Friday, March 29 Venus is conjunct Fomalhaut, one of the four stars identified as “royal” by the Persians. Venus is already in Pisces, a sign of her dignity, and Friday also belongs to Venus, so we have three magical conditions converging. Early risers can capture the Venus hour, as well (the first hour after Sunrise always belongs to the planet of the day). All of this Venus magic is conducive to using personal charisma for bringing people and things together in a state of unity, harmony, and spiritual peace. However, since Venus is in a waning phase visually—becoming gradually lower and dimmer—it may be helpful to surrender or give away one gift or blessing in our lives in order to discover another.

 

MERCURY CONJUNCT SIRIUS

On Wednesday, June 12 we have a conjunction of the star Sirius by the planet Mercury. Sirius is not only the brightest star in the sky but also one of fifteen Behenian stars considered to have special magical powers; Sirius was said to grant favor and also bring peace and accord. Since this is Mercury’s day, we can assume this peace is brokered through communication, negotiation, or exchange. This magic comes just in time and appears to be an opportunity to diffuse the very powerful opposition forming between Mars in Cancer and Saturn in Capricorn, with the moon in Libra offering additional assistance. Seek to broker peace through direct communication, if possible. If not, you can still call on the powers of Sirius and Mercuryfor help. Each of the Behenian stars has an accompanying herb, stone, and image or sigil used to access its powers. For Sirius, the herb is juniper and the stone is beryl. Combine these with the sigils for Sirius and Mercury along with incense and prayers for peace and harmony between powerful opposing forces.

Daily Motivator for March 21: Better and better

Better and better

Each new day is an opportunity to up your game. Each new situation puts you in position to be more thorough and effective at whatever you’re doing.

If you’re not constantly making improvements, you’ll quickly fall behind. It is not a curse, not a burden, but rather a chance for you to become a better and better version of yourself.

Incremental improvement makes the passing of time into your friend. And there’s always a way to make some kind of incremental improvement.

Walk a little more briskly, listen a little more attentively. Be a little more patient and forgiving, focus a little more intently, care a little more deeply than before.

In every area of your life are constant opportunities for improvement. Little by little, without being overwhelmed, you can gently and enthusiastically make those improvements.

Don’t leave yourself struggling to catch up. Instead, make the choice in every moment to get a little bit further ahead.

— Ralph Marston

When an idea is meant to be, it comes back to us time and time again.

Some of our goals and dreams come to fruition so easily that it is as if an unseen hand has done much of the work for us. When this happens, we say it must have been meant to be. On the other hand, when dreams and goals require a tremendous amount of effort, we may interpret this to mean that our dream is not meant to be. However, difficulty is not necessarily a sign that our hopes and plans are ill-fated. On the contrary, difficulties and challenges along the path can be important parts of the project’s overall meaning.

When everything goes smoothly, we feel blessed by the universe, as if a fleet of angels is guiding and supporting our every move. When things are rough or ambiguous, we sometimes feel that we have been abandoned. And yet, the truth is that we are blessed in both cases. Our angels and guides are always present. They may choose at times to back off and let us figure something out for ourselves, and this is when things seem difficult. But when things are difficult, we learn and grow in specific ways. There is a unique satisfaction that comes to us when we succeed at something that has been a challenge. Our sense of self-reliance expands, and our ability to endure and keep the faith is stronger for having been tested. We learn that we are capable of confronting and overcoming the obstacles in our path, and this empowers us to dream still bigger dreams, knowing that we will not be daunted by the challenges inherent in birthing them.

When we find ourselves facing difficulties with a particular plan or project, the chances are we know already whether we are meant to continue on or let it go. We simply need to look within ourselves for the answer. When an idea is meant to be, it comes back to us time and time again. Then we know we can go forward, no matter what challenges arise, knowing that it is meant to be.

Spring Blessings

Spring Blessings

a message from Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

 

Finally the blessings of spring make themselves known. First in tiny increments, then a few more particles, then soft breezes that seek a heart to fill. Favorable energies finally ‘come a knock’n’ at our doors. This year those who have never put an ounce of effort in our direction, will bring a bounty of unexpected provision in serendipitous ways.  In 2018 you were asked to climb and climb and climb again; above fear, above emotions, enduring deep water and debris.  You watched your world change its landscape right in front of your eyes, happening in moments not decades.  You felt helpless to change the outcome of what appeared to be fated.  You were stretched and pulled about like a shrunk sweater. You have changed forever never to return to who you once were.  You sit perched on a new olive branch of heart awaiting a signal from Noah/Noaa, it’s safe to go home. A mighty surge of blessedness washes upon earth souls escorting all to road of recovery and reconnection. As with all beginnings they must be experienced within the inner corridors of the heart.

The Blessings of this year travel to every shore on earth, in waves of Love.  The more thoughts you have of blessing self and others, the easier the Light connection will be made.  Thoughts of thankfulness and gratitude beckon this wave of blessedness; thoughts of negativity repel it.  The fruits of all past labors of life and love can be now tasted.  What was once thought to be lost is found! Energy spent in helping others was placed into a universal account that has accrued mighty proportions. Nothing was ever lost or wasted.  All actions of inherent goodness have been recorded and accounted for by the Cosmic abacus. All time spent in kind thoughts for others has been exponentially lengthened and multiplied beyond earth’s ability to count. A great amount of heavenly rewards finds itself headed for earth and those who have never stopped trying.

The Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, March 21

COSMIC CALENDAR

It would be great to report that on the day after the equinox and a full moon that everything is coming up roses. While Venus in Aquarius forming a supportive, 60-degree link with Jupiter in Sagittarius (7:18 a.m.) can offer you a terrific boost across the board, a quartet of celestial pranksters could become a temporary nemesis. The foursome to sidestep includes Venus squaring Mars (1:08 a.m.), Juno contacting radical-change agent Uranus via a tense, 45-degree tie (4:17 a.m.), Vesta squaring Jupiter (7:44 a.m.) and Mars forming a challenging, 150-degree link to Jupiter (12:44 p.m.).

The proper safety net is peacefully striving to improve your key relationships while developing higher talents in the fine and graphic arts as the moon glides through Libra. The sun connecting with Saturn by an inspirational, 72-degree rapport (10:45 p.m.) becomes an evening asset when it comes to stabilizing business and professional activities.

[Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Good Thursday Morning Brothers & Sisters of The Craft! May The Goddess Bless You Today & Always!

Spring fantasy

The Triple Goddess

As the Maiden, I saw through your eyes as a child
Spring rains, green forests, and animals wild!
I saw you run freely on the Earth with bare feet!
I watched as you danced in the winds, blowing free!
I was there as you grew, getting stronger each day!
I brought you rainbows, chasing grey skies away!
I was there in your laughter – I was there in your tears!
I was the acceptance you gained from your peers!
I saw your first love and I felt your first blush,
As passion first stirred in the night’s gentle hush!
I am there with you always in the fresh morning dew!
I bring you the crispness of beginnings anew

 

As the Mother, I bore all the labor distress
Of birthing your child, and I felt the caress
Of your hand on the face of the new life so dear.
I heard its first cry, and I eased your fear!
I provided the milk which you fed from your breast
Till the baby grew strong, and with health it was blessed.
As she took her first step, I was there in your smile!
I was there while you nurtured your beautiful child!
On the first day of school, when the doors opened wide
I was there in your fear – I was there in your pride.
I am there with you always in the bright full of moon!
I bring you fertility – abundance in bloom.

 

As the Crone, I brought blessings of wisdom with age
[Wisdom not found by the turn of a page].
I was there as you taught the correct way to live:
To love and to trust – to take and to give!
I was there in the twinkle of your aged eye!
I was there in your thoughts of the years flying by!
I was there when you taught the Mysteries of old!
I was there in the fire warming you in the cold!
In the weariness of age, I was there with you, too…
I brought well-deserved rest and peace unto you!
I am there with you always in the darkness of night!
I complete your life cycle, guiding you toward the light.

 

Maid, Mother and Crone – We are all One –
Yet We are all separate, as each role is done.
We do not leave you – We’re always there
As you walk through this life with your worries and cares;
As you dance in the spiral, We live inside –
Deep in your spirit – where nothing can hide!
No matter your path, no matter it’s length –
We give you courage and We give you strength.
We are there to support you every hour of day
And deep in the night, when dreams take you away.
Our gifts We give freely, for you are our Child…
Yes, We are the Lady: Wise, Pure, and Mild!

Wishing All Our Brothers & Sisters of The WOTC, A Very Beautiful & Magickal Ostara!

Good afternoon, brothers & sisters! Happy Spring Equinox! Happy Ostara! Just happy, happy everything! I wanted to apologize for us not being here with you today. I had a doctor’s appointment this morning that I had to keep. It is funny how times change. I use to not go off and leave anyone at the office because something always happened. Now, they don’t trust me to go to the doctor, so they all pack up and go with me. I know the doctor has to hate to see us show up. A mob coming through the door.

Lord Myst is the one who talked me into going to the doctor. My ribs have been very painful but then my left arm also started hurting. That is the arm, if you remember, they thought they were going to have to amputate after I had the truck accident. It was put back together with pins, pins, more pins and screws. The doctor sent us over to the X-ray department and they took a X-ray of it. I now have a cast on the lower part of my arm. Apparently there was some damaged due to the bone in that poor arm also. To be on the safe side he put a cast on the lower part of my arm. He said it should heal in a few weeks. Nothing to get upset about just a precaution. Then I got my rump jumped when he looked at my face. He wanted to know what happened and I told him. Apparently, I was suppose to call him immediately, which I didn’t honestly think about. I thought I was the bionic woman, apparently I’m not. But the cast doesn’t interfere with typing and he said there was no problem with me moving my fingers. That was one of the main questions Lord M asked. Good old Lord M, he is worse than a mother hen, I swear!

I do apologize for us not being here today, of all days. We will be back tomorrow, I promise. Well who knows, I could need to get one of my rods greased by then. Might as well laugh about it. as cry. I hope everyone of you have a better Spring Equinox than mine so far. Jacob and Joseph had helped the little kids color their eggs yesterday. They were planning on having an Ostara hunt today but, as luck would have it, it is raining here. I guess they can still have it in the office.

Thankfully this morning, at sunrise, it wasn’t raining. We all went outside to watch the sun come up. I felt a soft breeze blow against me. It was like my soul was being cleansed and refreshed. The others told me they felt it too. We all hugged each other and couldn’t help but shed a tear or two. We thanked the Goddess for guiding us through another Winter. We also thanked Her for this New Season of new beginnings and renewal. We asked Her for Her guidance and protection in the year to come. Then we proceeded to cleanse and sage the outside of the building and my cabin.

After that, Lynette and Eleanor went to cook everyone a hearty breakfast. I had to go and take a shower real quick to get ready to go to the doctor. I was looking forward to that hearty breakfast, HA! My hearty breakfast was a banana and yogurt, yummy. A banana and yogurt just don’t cut it when everyone else is having scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy. I knew not to dare reach for a biscuit or the gravy, they would have probably smacked my hand, lol!

Anyway, now that I have told you my whole life story for the morning so far, I am going to bed. We stayed up rather late, I feel alseep in the floor around two this morning. Then I had the boys hollering, “get up Momma, you’re going to miss it! Get up!” So I got up and my rump is dragging and the pain medicine is making me sleepy. I hope you understand why we are not on the internet today. We will be back tomorrow. Till then, my sweets….

Have a very blessed, beautiful & magickal Ostara,

Love ya,

Lady A

Wishing You & Yours A Very Blessed Ostara Eve…..

Spring Goddess

Ostara

Pink and green, yellow and light blue
These are the colors of the Springtime hues

The light returns to a frozen Earth
The Lord and Lady court in lusty mirth

He brushes her face
She brushes his horns
Tis not a thing to shun or scorn

Look there is a songbird
And over there is a hare

Excitement in our souls so sacred and fare

The signs that are given of a promise fulfilled
The rebirth of all nature
Flowers in the fields

But this is a beginning
Your goals don’t forsake
We must continue to water, continue to rake

To nurture and care for the still fragile seeds
Till they grow strong in to our magickal deeds

To pull the weeds and nurture with care
And watch your goals manifest
As we Will, stay Silent, and Dare

So salute the Lord and the Lady
As they explore and make marry
For your life will be prosperous
With strength, hope, and caring

–Raven Spirit

A small cauldron filled with homemade potpourri can be used as a fragrant altar decoration, burned (outdoors) as an offering to the old gods during or after a Sabbat celebration, or wrapped in decorative paper and ribbons and given to a Wiccan sister or brother as a Sabbat gift.

1/2 cup dried daffodils

1/2 cup dried rosebuds

1/2 cup dried crocus or iris

Ostara Lore
Researched and Compiled by StormWind

 

 

Ostara Soap

1 cup grated unscented soap
1/4 cup hot water
1 tbsp. apricot oil
1 tbsp. Jasmine
1/2 tbsp. rose
6 drops frankincense oil
6 drops sandalwood oil
3 drops lavender oil

Place grated soap in a heat-proof non-metallic container and add the hot water and apricot oil. Leave until it is cool enough to handle, and then mix together with your hands. If the soap is floating on the water, add more soap. Leave to sit for 10 minutes, mixing occasionally, until the soap is soft and mushy. Once the soap, water, and oil are blended completely, add the dry ingredients. Once the mixture is cool, then add the essential oils (essential oils evaporate quickly in heat). Enough essential oils should be added to overcome the original scent of the soap. Blend thoroughly and then divide the soap mixture into four to six pieces. Squeeze the soaps, removing as much excess water as possible into the shape you desire, and tie in a cheesecloth. Hang in a warm, dry place until the soap is completely hard and dry.

Pagan Parenting: Get the Children Involved in Fun Activities for Ostara

OSTARA

Pagan Parenting: Get the Children Involved in Fun Activities for Ostara

(Not only do they have fun, they also learn about our Sabbat)

Older children can research to find out what creatures lay eggs. Have them make large paper eggs. Have them cut the top of the egg off and reattach with a metal brad. Then the can make a creature they have found and glue it to the paper egg so that it looks like it is coming out of the egg when they open the top. They can decorate the egg according to the creature they chose.

Older children can write a story about finding a mysterious egg. Younger children can tell you the story and you can write it down for them.

Plastic eggs can be used for all sorts of games. You can write math problems on the outside of the shell on a pieces of tape (so you can change the math problems.) Then write the answers on a piece of paper and put into the egg. The child can do the math problem and check the answers by “cracking” open the eggs. You can also write fortunes inside the eggs, hide them, and let the children find them. Or you can make a treasure hunt with the clues written inside the plastic eggs.

Make a flower pot bunny. Turn a small flower pot upside down. Let the child paint the pot like a bunny head. Then make bunny ears out of felt. Poke the “bunny ears” out through the drainage hole in the pot and glue or tape the ears on the inside of the pot. (acrylic paint works best with this project.)

Hard boil eggs. Color with crayons, and dip into egg dye.

Cut out an egg shape out of a large piece of paper. Let your child paint it with watercolors.

Let your child experiment with adding white paint to green, yellow, and red. Then the child can paint with the Spring colors he/she made.

Have your child sprinkle grass seed into a paper cup filled with dirt. Let your child water it carefully and place in a sunny window.

 

Bunny Biscuits

Make biscuits with your favorite recipe (even out of a can if you want.)

Cut into circle shaped biscuits.

Two biscuits make a bunny head. 1 makes the face. Cut the other one in half and flip each half over.

Stick to top face on a cookie sheet and bake according to directions.

Tell your children the story of the Goddess Eoster. She was thought to take the form of a white bunny and hop all through the countryside bringing eggs. She was the Goddess of fertility, which you may want to explain as being the one who helped people have new babies, grow crops, and new animals to be born.

Read “The Runnaway Bunny” by Margaret Wise Brown.

Have an egg relay race. Divide the family or group of children into teams. Give each person a spoon. Give each team a hard boiled egg. Make a starting line and a got to line. Say, “On your mark, get set, go!” Then each person in the front of the line holds out their spoon with the egg on it and goes as fast and carefully as they can to the “go to line” and back. They pass off the egg to the next person. The first team to have everyone go to the line and back with the egg wins.

Have an Egg Hunt. I like to hide plastic eggs with jellybeans inside, because animals (such as kitties,) won’t bother them, and they won’t spoil.

Make a white paper bag bunny. Find a white paper lunch bag. Cut ear shapes out of the top of the bag. Have the children decorate it to look like a bunny. Stuff it with newspaper. Staple or glue it shut. Or, they can leave it open and fill it with goodies instead.

Make bunny head bands. Take a strip of paper. Wrap it around your child’s head and forehead. Staple it into a circle that fits. Have them draw, color, and cut out bunny ears. Tape or staple them to the head band. Then they can hop around.

Cut out a large egg shape out of paper. Have your child paint on it with watercolor paints. Let dry. Have them color over the entire egg really hard with a purple crayon. Give them toothpicks and let them scratch a design into the purple crayon. The watercolors will show through where ever they scratch.

Make a white paper plate bunny. Fold a paper plate in half. Staple it that way. Add a cotton ball tail on one end. Add paper ears on the other. Draw a face on the end with the ears.
Make a baby chick in an egg. Get two yellow pom poms. Cut one egg portion from an egg carton. Glue the pom poms, one on top of the other, into the egg carton piece. Cut a very small diamond shape out of orande paper. Fold in half. Glue onto the top pom pom for a beak. Glue on googly eyes

 

Ostara Egg Shell Mosaics

Save all the egg shells from your Ostara eggs.
Put them in a strong plastic or paper bag.
Smash them by rolling a rolling pin over the bag.
Your child can glue down the colorful eggshells in any mosaic patten that they wish on sturdy paper or cardboard.

 

Homemade Ostara Egg Dye

1 Tablespoon Vinegar
You need these ingredients for EACH color you want for your eggs.
1/4 teaspoon food coloring
3/4 cup hot water
1 Tablespoon hot water

Mix theses ingrdients all together in a bowl for each color that you want. Leave the egg in until it reaches the desired shade.

You can also add one of the follwing ingredients to water and a bit of vinegar in a saucepan and heat to make your own colors: Onion skins, Blueberries, beets.

To make interesting designs on your Ostara eggs, try putting rubber bands on the eggs before dying. Use rubber bands of varying widths. Remove rubber bands after the dye is dry. You can even recolor egg after the bands are removed.

You can use masking tape or stickers on the egg before you dye it. Then remove tape after it is completely dry.

You can make tye-dye eggs. Take a 6 inch square of cotton cloth. Wet slightly and roll the egg in the cloth. Secure in place with a rubber band on each end of the egg so it looks like a piece of hard candy. Use a medicine dropper to put drops of dye on the cloth-covered egg. Use several different colors. Unwrap

 

Pear Bunny

Put a canned pear half on a lettuce leaf on a plate.
Use almonds for the ears.
Make a tail out of a marshmallow.
Make eyes out of raisins.

 

Bunny Rolls

1 head of lettuce
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Wash and remove large lettuce leaves. Let (or pat) dry. Mix remaining ingredients. Spread on lettuce leaf. Roll up and eat.

 

Fluffy Rabbit Finger Play

See the Fluffy rabbit as it hops,
(Hold hands at sides of head for ears.)
One ear up while the other one flops.
(Bend down one hand.)
She’s a gentle bunny with a twitchy nose,
(Wiggle nose.)
She’s all furry from her ears to her toes.
(Wiggle rabbit ear, then toes.)
