__________________________

Preparation

🌈 Timing:

Perform this ritual on the Spring Equinox, ideally at dawn or during the day when the sun is high.

 🌈 Location:

Choose a space where you feel connected to nature, whether it’s outdoors or a designated sacred space indoors

 🌈 Altar:

Set up your Ostara altar with the correspondences mentioned in the previous blog. Include a small pot of soil, seeds (representing your intentions), and a bowl of fresh spring water.

You will need candles (pastel colors), incense (floral or fresh scents), and a representation of the Goddess Ostara (or your chosen spring deity).

____________________________

⭐ The Ritual ⭐

 🌈 Casting the Circle:

If you typically cast a circle, do so now, invoking the elements and guardians.

 🌈 Invocation:

Light your candles and incense. Stand before your altar and say:

   “Ostara, Goddess of Dawn and Spring, we welcome your light. The Earth awakens, and so do we. We gather here, at the point of perfect balance, to honor the return of life and the blooming of potential.”

 🌈 Honoring the Equinox:

Take a moment to feel the balance of light and dark. Close your eyes and visualize the sun rising, bringing warmth and vitality to the Earth. Say:

   “Day and night are equal, a moment of perfect harmony. We honor the balance within and without, the dance of light and shadow, and the promise of growth.”

 🌈 Planting the Seeds of Intention:

Take the pot of soil and the seeds. As you hold the seeds, visualize your intentions for the coming season. What do you wish to cultivate in your life? Speak your intentions aloud, infusing the seeds with your energy.

   “These seeds represent the potential within me. I plant them with intention, nurturing my dreams and aspirations. May they grow strong and vibrant, bringing forth the fruits of my labor.”

   Plant the seeds in the soil.

 🌈 Blessing the Seeds and Water:

Hold the bowl of spring water over the planted seeds. Say:

   “Water of life, nourish these seeds of intention. May they be blessed with growth, vitality, and abundance.”

   Sprinkle the water over the soil.

 🌈 Offering to Ostara:

Offer a small gift to Ostara, such as flowers, a decorated egg, or a poem. Say:

   “Ostara, we thank you for the gifts of spring. We offer our gratitude and respect, and we celebrate the renewal of life.”

 🌈 Grounding:

Take a few deep breaths, grounding yourself in the present moment. Feel the connection to the Earth and the energy of spring.

 🌈 Releasing the Circle:

 If you cast a circle, release it now, thanking the elements and guardians.

 🌈 Closing:

Extinguish the candles and incense. Place the pot of seeds in a sunny location and water them regularly, nurturing your intentions as they grow.

🌈 Reflection:

After the ritual, take some time to journal about your experience. Reflect on your intentions and how you plan to nurture them throughout the spring and summer. This ritual is a powerful way to connect with the energies of Ostara and to embrace the potential for growth within yourself. May your spring be filled with joy, abundance, and renewal.

To capture their iconic images and record the accompanying information, Carol and Angela travelled over 300,000 miles to the remote corners of the African continent. The trust they built with the people they encountered gave them unprecedented access to #rituals and #rites of passage often held in secret and little known to the outside world.

One of the functions of religion is #Community. Which creates a social contract for members involving #Rites and practices.

#Jesus said we would know them by their fruits. If you are #SavedByGrace you do the #Works not because they will #Save you, because you are #Saved. Which comes first is debatable, though you can't have one without the other.

Jesus also recognized the #Humanity in every person and modeled #Radical #Inclusion .

Should rite aid hold up to their name and aid #pagans in performing #rites? Went there, n'er a single bag of salt peter, nor a single bottle of Florida water.

A #UFCSPA recebeu na quarta-feira, 7, uma visita de 110 alunos da Escola Estadual Vicente da Fontoura, localizada no bairro Chapéu do Sol, l de Porto Alegre. Os estudantes, de 5o a 9o ano do ensino fundamental, vieram conhecer e vivenciar o ambiente universitário, parte da proposta de implementação do projeto de extensão e iniciação científica jr. "Aprendendo Sobre Vírus e Vacinas", coordenado pelo professor Luiz Rodrigues. O projeto é um dos braços do projeto #RITES/#FAPERGS da @ufcspaoficial

#RitesOfPassage

#Rites of passage are not as #occult and #weird as one could thought by the first impression but they are present in every society in all times. Rites of passage are a #transformation from one state to another, leaving one group, entering another.

The three stages are #seperation, #liminality, #incorporation.

In a #pagan perspective it is in my opinion worth to think about it what contemporary rites of passage are and how they are performed for example the life cycle.

In a #pagan perspective it is in my opinion worth to think about it what contemporary rites of passage are and how they are performed for example the life cycle.

#RitesOfPassage

#Rites of passage are not as #occult and #weird as one could thought by the first impression but they are present in every society in all times. Rites of passage are a #transformation from one state to another, leaving one group, entering another.

The three stages are #seperation, #liminality, #incorporation.

One of the functions of religion is #Community. Which creates a social contract for members involving #Rites and practices.

#Jesus said we would know them by their fruits. If you are #SavedByGrace you do the #Works not because they will #Save you, because you are #Saved. Which comes first is debatable, though you can't have one without the other.

Jesus also recognized the #Humanity in every person and modeled #Radical #Inclusion .
