The Wiccan day of equal light and dark in spring, also known as Ostara, is a holiday celebrated by followers of Wicca and other Pagan traditions. It falls on the vernal equinox, when day and night are of equal length. Ostara is a time to celebrate the arrival of spring and the reawakening of nature after the long winter months. This holiday is named after the Germanic Goddess of Spring, Ostara, who represents fertility, growth, and rebirth. As the days become longer and warmer, new life begins to emerge from the earth. Plants start to sprout, flowers bloom, and animals awaken from hibernation.

The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art to Perform The Comedy of Errors at the Festival
As part of a strategic partnership with the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London is bringing The Comedy of Errors to Festival audiences.
The production will run from August 1-5, 9:30 a.m. in the Eileen and Allen Anes Studio Theatre.
“Our audiences are in for such a treat,” Interim Artistic Director Derek Charles Livingston said. “[RADA] has put together a whiz-bang version of one of our audience’s favorites of Shakespeare’s.”
This is an exceptional experience that Festival patrons won’t want to miss out on––as the actors have extensive training from this prestigious London academy.
“This is the second year of our partnership with the famed British acting school, and the presentation last year of Much Ado About Nothing was pure delight,” Livingston said. The emphasis of this partnership is on the art of contemporary Shakespeare performance and training from the Bard’s homeland.
The RADA training program boasts a number of exceptional alumni that have seen success as actors, including Alan Rickman, Allison Janney, Anthony Hopkins, Glenda Jackson, Roger Moore, Joan Collins, and Richard Attenborough. And the next RADA “star” just may be on the Festival stage this summer.
In addition to seeing such accomplished actors, The Comedy of Errors is 90-minutes of fast-paced Shakespeare. RADA describes it as “a classic farce of mistaken identity sprinkled with Shakespearean magic and heart.”
“This one-week-only presentation of one of the Bard’s most funny plays is being presented in our Anes Theatre, where our audiences will be up close to all the action and wit in The Comedy of Errors,” Livingston said.

They may decorate their homes and altars with symbols of spring, such as colorful flowers, eggs, and rabbits. The egg is particularly significant, as it represents new life and the potential for growth. In addition, many Wiccans perform rituals to welcome the goddess Ostara and invoke her blessings. These rituals often involve lighting candles, offering flowers or fruits, and reciting prayers or invocations. Some Wiccans also choose to perform acts of service or kindness to others as a way of embracing the spirit of Ostara. The Wiccan day of equal light and dark in spring is a time to celebrate balance and harmony. It reminds us of the delicate equilibrium that exists in nature and within ourselves. This holiday encourages us to embrace the changes happening around us and within us, and to find joy and renewal in the cyclical nature of life. As the days grow longer and the earth blooms with new life, Ostara offers us the opportunity to connect with the energy of the season and embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead..
Reviews for "The Symbolism of Renewal: Exploring Ostara in Wiccan Mythology"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars
I attended the Wiccan day of equal light and dark in spring with high expectations, but unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The event felt disorganized and lacked structure. There were no clear instructions or explanations given about the rituals and practices, which made it difficult for newbies like me to fully engage and understand what was happening. Additionally, the event seemed overcrowded, making it challenging to fully immerse oneself in the experience. Overall, I felt disconnected and left with more questions than answers.
2. Jonathan - 1/5 stars
I had heard great things about the Wiccan day of equal light and dark in spring, so I was excited to attend. However, my experience was far from enjoyable. The organizers showed a lack of professionalism and respect towards the attendees. The rituals were poorly executed, and it felt more like a chaotic gathering rather than a spiritual event. The energy in the room was off, and I left feeling drained and disappointed. I would not recommend this event to anyone seeking a genuine and meaningful Wiccan experience.
3. Emily - 3/5 stars
The Wiccan day of equal light and dark in spring had its moments, but overall, it didn't live up to my expectations. While some of the rituals were interesting, there was a lack of guidance and structure throughout the event. It felt like everyone was simply going through the motions without truly understanding the significance of the practices. Additionally, the event was advertised as embracing the balance of light and dark, but it focused more on the light aspect, neglecting the exploration of the shadow side. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it was far from memorable or transformative.
