Blessings of Ostara

In the wheel of the year we turn to the direction of the East - to Ostara. Oestre is the Germanic goddess of Spring that presides over this time of year. The word Estrogen is derived from her name. The rising sun in the East - the direction of the Maiden and the fire of Menarche - our first moon blood power

In the bible 40 days and 40 nights - trust preparation and transition - a time of purification, transforamtion and spiritual gorwth

Spring cleanses should be warm and slow - it’s too cold to jump into hard core cold juices and will stress your adrenals and in turn nervous system

How has the altar of your being been stirred in this first Eclipse?

Oestre - Estrogen

How are you clear on the reckoning that has presented itself and what is it that needs tending in order to rebirth you

All processes take time and are no linear - despite what we have instilled in us by society - our growth is not a clear upward trajectory but rather a gentle ramble

as the moon takes her outbreath how do you mirror this and what are you releasing?

You could envisage stepping through a temple door. Walking through a voilet flame to leave anything that is not needed at the door and create a space of regeneration and rejuvenation. In your minds eye what does this place look like? Create your healing garden, your peaceful sanctuary, with whatever sounds, sights, smells you like and ask your body to trust in this place. You can return here and allow it to become a powerful visioning space. Even if externally everything appears to be ‘not enough’ can you create a powerful space that feels aligned to your healing and supportive of your earth temple?

“I root my feet into the earth and call upon stillness and quietude. Foremost I offer my body what it needs to flow freely”
