I realize I've still got a while, but I wanna know how y'all celebrate Ostara! I don't really do much, but I wanna try something out since it's pretty rare that I actually have the time or motivation to celebrate smaller holidays.
What do y'all do?

I don't even know what I'm going to eat tomorrow XD
I really like Ostara though. I always do at least something small for each sabbath. It usually involves tasty foods and drinks. I don't remember what I did last year. I'm getting my garden ready for spring, so I might mix sowing the new seeds with a ritual of some sort.
Ah, that's probably a good idea. I keep a lot of potted plants in the house anyways, and I'm always planting something new!
I set up an altar at sundown for Mani and switch it out at dawn for Sunna. I usually make sun tea and moon water.
It's probably time for me to try my hand at moonwater again anyways- last time I tried it made me sick lol. Thanks for the advice!
After I make it I try to use it right away and if I don't only refrigerate it for a few days. Usually in a tea or even coffee, unless I am making incense.Originally Posted by luckysnackcreations

“You have never answered but you did not need to. If I stand at the ocean I can hear you with your thousand voices. Sometimes you shout, hilarious laughter that taunts all questions. Other nights you are silent as death, a mirror in which the stars show themselves. Then I think you want to tell me something, but you never do. Of course I know I have written letters to no-one. But what if I find a trident tomorrow?" ~~Letters to Poseidon, Cees Nooteboom
“We still carry this primal relationship to the Earth within our consciousness, even if we have long forgotten it. It is a primal recognition of the wonder, beauty, and divine nature of the Earth. It is a felt reverence for all that exists. Once we bring this foundational quality into our consciousness, we will be able to respond to our present man-made crisis from a place of balance, in which our actions will be grounded in an attitude of respect for all of life. This is the nature of real sustainability.”
~~Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
"We are the offspring of history, and must establish our own paths in this most diverse and interesting of conceivable universes--one indifferent to our suffering, and therefore offering us maximal freedom to thrive, or to fail, in our own chosen way."

"Humans are not rational creatures. Now, logic and rationality are very helpful tools, but there’s also a place for embracing our subjectivity and thinking symbolically. Sometimes what our so-called higher thinking can’t or won’t see, our older, more primitive intuition will." John Beckett

This is coming up, but I'm away at work right now, so truthfully I'll probably do nothing.
Mar 21 doesn't really fit into my WotY where I live, as it doesn't mark any significant change in the seasons. It's not Spring for me.
The next celebration I'll have is the community bonfire at the very end of March, which is sort of a "we made it through the winter" hurrah out on the ice before it starts to melt.

Mostly art.
I will probably do something small at home. The next two weeks are suppose to be in the 50's and 60's so maybe I'll go swim in the backyard with all the melted snow but for the boy I am unsure.
