Absolute harmony – Ostara accompaniment

The subsolar point, i.e. the point above which the sun is exactly vertical, crosses the equator.

In March, it moves from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, which marks the astronomical beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of spring in the southern hemisphere. In September, it’s the other way around.

The equinoxes mark the astronomical beginning of spring and fall. Meteorologically, these times are different!

However, their origins are not entirely clear, as there were many tribes that are now categorized as Germanic tribes. But who worshipped which gods under which names can hardly be traced. Only the traditions themselves are still known.

The name Ostara indicates conception or birth. “Os” is the earth’s womb and means origin and birth. “tar” means procreation. Which is fitting, because spring is the absolute birth par excellence.

The spring equinox awakens Ostara to new life, nature is really stepping on the gas now, sprouting everywhere and people suddenly seem to be bursting with life energy.

Ostara is the return of life after the retreat of winter, everything revolves around fertility, the animals are mating for all they’re worth and we humans are also experiencing spring fever.

The Christian church naturally tried to tame this fertility spectacle and so, at some point in the Middle Ages, the festival of fertility became our modern Easter, the resurrection of Christ.

Which of course also fits the theme, after all Jesus has returned to life, just in a churchy, chaste way. Incidentally, Easter is not exactly on the spring equinox, but is determined by the lunar calendar. It lands between March 21 and April 25, so it is quite possible that the earlier Ostara festival was also celebrated according to the lunar calendar. It’s just that we don’t know exactly anymore, perhaps it was different from region to region.

The peoples of the time were certainly not chaste, and the festivals were probably quite extravagant. Remnants of this can be seen in today’s Easter customs; the rabbit, ladybug and eggs are all symbols of fertility.

They have simply been repackaged and so the bunny brings the eggs at Easter. With the Easter fires, other remnants of the festivities of that time have been preserved.

But this is the very first beginning, which may not even be visible yet. It is about the germination of the seed that was planted at earlier festivals in the annual cycle. The seed that came into the earth at the winter solstice or even earlier, was supplied with energy at Imbolc and is now beginning to germinate.

So reflect on what lies within you and is now preparing to germinate and grow. It doesn’t have to go outside yet, it doesn’t have to become visible. But it is gaining strength in you, you can already feel it in you.

Consciously feel your way into this seed. Feel how it begins to stir. Feel how your visions become goals and how their realization begins to take shape. If you have a vision board, then use it as intensively as possible right now.

The custom of cutting the first willow branches and bringing them home to your home certainly dates back to ancient times.

The old blessing rituals with which the fields were prepared for the new sowing are very rare to observe today. The farmer walked through his fields and put sacred herbs in the ground at every corner. These were mostly branches of the willow tree, peppermint or cowslip. A candle was often added. Meanwhile, he has asked for a bountiful harvest.

So that your visions, plans and projects get the right momentum to become concrete and realizable.

The whole thing works remotely, so you can take part anywhere in the world, no matter where you are or what you’re doing. The spiritual level on which we work knows no spatial dimension.

I’ll build for you on 20.03. an energy field that supplies you with as much energy as you can accept and implement. No matter how much it is. You will remain in this field until 21.03.

And before that, I’ll give you a guide with suggestions and ways to support your plans.
