At this time of year, Pagans like myself, celebrate Ostara - the Spring Equinox and one of the 8 sabbats of the wheel of the year .... as Wicca is an earth/nature based belief, we celebrate the lengthening days and growing light, plant seeds and celebrate new life ... the dark days are over and we welcome the sun ... this is the festival of the Goddess Eostre and her totem animal is the hare and her symbol is the egg .... It is said that at this Equinox, Druids painted eggs red to welcome the sun ....
Does that remind you of 'Easter' yet another pagan festival highjacked , but whatever your beliefs have a happy time
For all UK pagans - please remember to put Pagan down in the UK census this Sunday -let us be counted !
