so
hi everybody uh welcome to my ostara video today i'm going to take you on an ostara journey i'm
going to be making a altar making some egg candles making a entry in my spell book and
i'm really looking forward to this i think it'll be really fun and refreshing i have so many fun
things to put on my altar including this necklace this is my ostara necklace that i had gotten in
the witch's box a really really long time ago and uh yeah so i have some really great finds and then
i'm going to put my egg candles on there so if you want to come on this a star journey with me then
keep watching to begin today's ostara journey i'm going to make egg candles and to do this you'll
need eggshells and mine are from my friend's ducks then you'll need wax i'm using saved candle wax
and something to melt it in for my wick i'm using a glue gun wick clips and wick string
for fragrance i'm using essential oils jasmine and rose to decorate my eggs i'm using rose petals
and rose quartz crystals first thing i did was make my wicks and glued them into my eggs
then i began melting my wax which actually took some time if you're using a glass container in
the boiling process make sure the glass is in the water before it is boiled or it could crack
once the wax was melted i added my essential oils and stirred my intention into the mixture
i crafted a gentle intention that supported the work i was already doing moving into spring
as i mentioned at samhain and in bulk i'm releasing codependency
and creating a new foundation that invites balance of my masculine and feminine energies
then when i was ready i poured my wax into my eggs
i actually ended up needing to melt a little bit more wax later on
after the wax was nearly set but still quite soft
i decorated my candles with rose petals and rose quartz crystals
so
and so my egg candles were complete
so i'm done making my eggs and i'm going to start working on my altar so this is where
i'm going to put my altar i just repainted this shelf white so it's nice and fresh
and uh yeah so these are just a few of the things i'm going to be using i have
these really cute doilies i'm going to choose one probably the pink one
for my altar i'm using this bird's nest that was found fallen in nature and given to me by my mom
it's acting as a symbol of fertility creation and rebirth and i also think
that because it was given to me by my mom it really plays into these
themes of ancestral healing that i have been working on for several years
the fairy i'm using is one that i made for a special project
that is coming up on my channel and i made it using the flower fairy artwork
i love how the shadow is dancing on the wall it's so magical
i also added a pentagram to my altar to represent the directions and the elements
i love how my altar turned out all of these beautiful pinks remind me of a spring awakening
and they are so grounding to me and i'm so happy to have this
in my space to inspire me and grow with this spring
now i'm ready to work on my spellbook entry i'm using spelled paper that
i made by soaking regular paper in roses and setting it with my creative intentions
i found this daffodil on a recent adventure that i'll share with you soon
and the eggshell is from the same doc eggs that i used for the candles
i used modge podge to adhere these natural elements onto my page
do
after the mod podge was dry i then got to writing on my page the pagan sabbat of ostara or iosta
aligns with the spring equinox and honors the balance of the light and dark on earth and within
ourselves ostara represents rebirth fertility of living things and honors the creative force
that lives within us the idea of easter actually predates christianity and originates from this
pagan celebration honoring the goddess eostra and the beginning of spring this sabbat is on march
20th to the 21st but of course you can't honor it until the next sabbath on may 1st
for this springtime sabbat colors like green
pink blue and purple are popular along with crystals of those colors like jasper
rose quartz lapis lazuli aquamarine and amethyst springtime flowers like daffodils tulips pansies
crocus bluebells and hyacinth can also be used to honor this time on the wheel of the year
once i was finished i added my page to my altar and now i'm ready to welcome spring
