Every single year, without fail, we deal with the fact that the internet is obsessed with promoting the misinformation that Ostara must have been stolen from Easter.

People will argue until they’re blue in the face…But they won’t provide citations or evidence to the contrary and the reason why is simple: there isn’t any.

If you find that celebrating Ostara brings you joy: we aren’t here to rain on your parade or stop you in the slightest.

But misinformation, even misinformation that sounds cool and serves to further rhetorical goals, is still wrong and harmful.

So, after years of promising it, we’ve finally delivered: Easter isn’t stolen from Ostara.

Have questions? We’re happy to answer!

Pagans who collect rocks they find on the ground.

Pagans who buy crystals because it makes them happy.

Pagans who have to declutter a space every time they want to make an altar.

Pagans who lose track of time sitting in front of their carefully crafted altar.

Pagans who live in the northern hemisphere trying to sort through mainstream holidays to find what’s left of theirs.

Pagans who live in the southern hemisphere and struggle to celebrate seasonal holidays and feel out of synch with their community they do.

Pagans who talk to the moon about their day.

Pagans who look into the eyes of their loved ones and find traces of divinity.

Pagans who revel in the freedom of their practice.

Pagans who worry if they’re doing something wrong.

Pagans (I love y’all so much and I’m grateful for every one of you)

Have a wonderful equinox to those still celebrating it! Blessed Be

🌷 🖤 🏁 🌿 🐛 🐌 ✨ // still life with fritillaries & hellebores // gouache on hot press paper

A gift painted for a friend for their help with top surgery stuff! fritillaries are wild; they're actually checkered that way in nature, and hellebores really do come in black.

Spring Equinox🌷

🌷🐦 As the world awakens from its winter slumber, the arrival of the Spring Equinox, also known as Ostara, 🌸🎵 paints the landscape with vibrant colors of blooming flowers and singing birds. A time of renewal and rebirth, waking of light out of darkness, and the promise of new beginnings is written in the earth. Rooted in ancient traditions, this celebration is a reminder of the eternal cycle of life and the endless potential for growth and transformation. 🌱💐

Last Spring Equinox I started a ritual of writing down intentions and manifestations and planting them in the bottom of soil with planting some new seeds. And you know what??? It worked!

This year I’m for sure planting some peppers, tomatoes and basil! Do you have some fun spring rituals??
