"We build 'em fire; now we hunt 'em boar!" |
 The childern lead off to make their offerings… |
Children just before the big hunt! |
Calling the South Quarter. |
 Even the drinks had an Ostara flavor! 
Childern make offerings to the Quarters.
The Staff is bigger than she is! |
Ostara is a joyous event to celebrate the return of Spring. This holiday is inately linked to birth and therefore children instinctively know this is their holiday. Baskets symbolize the womb of the Mother; from which we all emerge. The eggs are used to symoblize the birth process and to encourage fertility in both the home and the fields.
