A Cycle Of Change
Author: Rashah McChesney Source: Iowa State Daily
Title: A CYCLE OF CHANGE
An altar decorated with fresh flowers, budding vines and moist dirt. At the north end sits an offering of earth; to the south, fire; a container of water sits to the west; smoke to the east. One pours a handful of seeds into one hand, allowing them to fall into and around the altar, and evoking a blessing over them for the coming planting season. This is Ostara.
Ostara is another name for the Spring Equinox. It marks the first day of spring, when the sun rises and sets along the equator, making the hours of nighttime and daytime equal around the world.
As a holiday, Ostara, or Eostara, represents not only a changing of seasons to many Pagans, but also a time for celebration and the beginning of a new cycle.
