Ostara
Today is the spring equinox also known for witches as Ostara. Much of what people now associate with Easter originally started as reference to Ostara. The Easter bunny, Coloring eggs, baby farm animals, and even the buying of new clothes all have a place in the history of this spring celebration. Much of the original pagan traditions were carried over into the christian holidays when the roman catholic church was trying to convert Europe. Take some time to day to enjoy the warming weather, color some eggs and decorate a spring tree or use fun colored plastic eggs for the decorating, try to balance a egg on the wide end and have it stand up. Take some time to look up more information and this fun holiday and the traditions that come with it.
