Ostara – March 20

The Wheel of the Year

“Awakening Light”

Ostara is shown with a soft dawn breaking behind her, representing the return of the light.

My favorite early spring event is the blooming of the magnolias, and so she’s crowned in magnolia blossoms. She is depicted in shades of gentle brown with hair the color of young leaves, echoing the budding trees. 

She holds a glowing pink sphere, symbolizing the power of this season, while clouds of sparkles float at her temple. Ostara’s gaze is soft, her smile tender. 

She reflects the quiet energy of the world just slipping out of the mantle of its long winter sleep.
