Spring equinox witchcraft refers to the practice of the craft during the spring equinox, also known as Ostara. This time of the year marks the balance between light and darkness, as the hours of daylight and darkness are equal. It is a time of renewal, rebirth, and growth. During this season, witches harness the energy of the earth awakening from its winter slumber. They celebrate the arrival of spring and embrace the new beginnings it brings. There are various rituals and practices associated with spring equinox witchcraft.
In fact, many monuments around the world are built to align with the sun on the spring equinox, (as well as with the summer solstice and winter solstice), including Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Stonehenge in England. You don’t need a temple to take part in this spring festival. Spring Equinox celebrations are easy to incorporate into your magickal routine to ground yourself and refresh yourself before summer.
From this point forward, until the summer solstice in June, the days will begin to be longer than the nights, so at the spring equinox, we celebrate the return of the sun, of warmth, and of light. There are eight special moments of change, or Sabbats, that mark the seasons and the turning of the year in pre-Christian European earth-based traditions.
There are various rituals and practices associated with spring equinox witchcraft. One common practice is creating a sacred space to commune with nature and the divine. Witches often gather in small groups or alone, in outdoor spaces such as gardens or forests, to honor and connect with the Earth.
Wheel of the Witch ~ Working Seasonal Magic: Spring Equinox/Ostara
There are eight special moments of change, or Sabbats, that mark the seasons and the turning of the year in pre-Christian European earth-based traditions. The Sabbats are like gateways that are ripe with possibility, each one a time for ritual, for personal magic and collective prayer.
During our sessions, we will learn skills and tools to help us build our own rituals for four of these holy days, drawing on tools of Priestessing, building relationships with ancestors and allies, learning to receive information about what is to come while also gaining courage for stepping into the mystery. We will be working closely with the goddess Brigid and her many incarnations, including the "bridge", the triple goddess, the flame keeper, the blacksmith, the poet, and the one who stands at the cemetery gates and pours the healing waters.
We will meet ahead of these holy days in order to make timely preparations for our personal practices.
Each session is $35.
Friday, March 13th, 6:30-9pm ~ Spring Equinox/Ostara

They may perform rituals to honor the rebirth of nature and offer gratitude for the gifts it provides. Another aspect of spring equinox witchcraft is the use of seasonal herbs, flowers, and plants in spells and rituals. These natural elements are believed to carry the energy of growth and renewal. Witches may gather flowers, such as daffodils or tulips, to use in their rituals or create herbal concoctions for healing or manifestation purposes. Additionally, divination and introspection play a significant role during the spring equinox. Witches may engage in tarot readings, scrying, or other forms of divination to gain guidance and insight for the coming months. This is a time of self-reflection, setting intentions, and planning for personal growth and transformation. Spring equinox witchcraft is deeply rooted in the celebration of life, fertility, and the cycles of nature. It is a time to honor the interconnectedness of all living beings and to embrace the energies of renewal and growth. By aligning with the rhythms of the earth and the changing seasons, witches harness the power of the universe to manifest their desires and create positive change in their lives..
