Ostara Ritual

Arrange the altar as usual, however place a wheel
symbol in the center of the altar. Place pale pink and
yellow candles around the wheel. These candles will
represent the “Easter fires” and illustrate the fire
aspect of this sabbat. To represent the Goddess and
rebirth decorate eggs in colors representing the
elements and the Goddess and God. Use these to
decorate the altar and circle.
Stand at the center of the circle with a white candle
in both hands. Raise the candle above your head and
recite:

Ancient Ones I now impart
By candle flame remove the dark.

Move to the North position and recite:

With this light
A welcome comes
To the Watchtower of the North,
Element of Earth.

Continue around the circle until all the elements have
been welcomed. Now cast the circle and invoke the God
and Goddess.

Dancing and laughter bring
Young Maiden of the Spring.
Youthful, fresh, and pure
Enter my heart and welcome here.

Blossoms and light bring
Young Lord of the Spring.
Youthful, fresh, and pure
Enter my heart and welcome here.

Spend a few minutes visualizing the youthful pair
romping through the reborn forest. Bring forth images
of flowers emerging from the melting snow. Listen to
the sound of the streams slowly flowing as the ice
melts. Listen also to the songs of the birds as they
return to the forest. Breathe in the fragrance of the
blossoming flowers and fresh earth. Know that life has
returned and the wheel is turning yet again.

Spend some time blessing household plants and new
seeds. Follow with any necessary works of magick,
especially that of purification and renewal. Celebrate
the Simple Feast. Release the Circle.
