Ostara is a good time to get together as a group and celebrate the coming of Spring. Of course, in many places it's still too cold to really feel like it's Spring. What better reason than to hail the coming of Spring than with a group ritual? Have eggs as your main food during the Simple Feast, and drink fruit juice.

Get a copy of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring for a meeting. Listen to the music and discuss what kinds of images it gives you. (For those of you who aren't sure...it's the music from the dinosaur scene from the first Disney's Fantasia movie.) Also consider using Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.

Organize an Eostre (!) Egg hunt for your group. Get a pack of plastic eggs and fill them with fun prizes (stones, charms, etc.) for your members. If you feel a little more ambitious, see if you can arrange a campus-wide Eostre Egg hunt to educate your fellow students on the Pagan meaning of the holiday. (See the Holidays section for further information.)

Don't forget your animal friends...make feeders and houses for the birds that will be migrating in soon. When in doubt, do as you did in the Winter and smear large pinecones with peanut butter, then roll them in birdseed.

Volunteer as a group at an animal shelter or rehabilitation center. (I used to work for a Wild Bird Rehab Center and we started getting swamped with baby birds that had fallen out of nests starting at about this time.) Collect newspaper and donate it to these centers.
