Ostara: Spring Equinox, Fertility Symbols, and the Return of Balance
Twice a year, for one precise and fleeting moment, the world holds itself in perfect balance — day and night equal, light and dark neither winning nor losing. The ancients built monuments to this moment. They decorated eggs, watched the hare run wild in the March fields, and planted seeds into ground they trusted would warm. Ostara is the festival of the world making its great decision: to begin again.
