Solitary Activities for Ostara

Activities for Ostara for the solitary aren't that much different than those for groups. Celebrate by boiling eggs and dyeing them. Eat them, and enjoy them, knowing that they are symbols of the goddess Eostre. Take the goddess into you in this way. She also symbolizes personal renewal, fertility, anf fruitfulness. Take a symbol of something that's hindering you outside before the sun rises and drop it or bury it without looking at it. Then turn toward the horizon as the sun rises and hervest the first flower you see. Dry it and carry it with you as a charm for hope. (From Patricia Telesco's 365 Goddess.)

Participate in an Easter egg hunt around this time. Ironically enough, many churches sponsor them, so if you don't feel any aversion to it, you can volunteer there.

Keep your mind on the fruitfulness of nature...take a long walk and just notice things: the plants that are blooming, the birds chirping, the snow melting (hopefully for those of you up North, too!), etc. Try to spot the young of different animals such as squirrels and birds. Spend as much time as you can outside as the weather allows.

If you do a ritual, try it outside if it's warm enough. Keep it simple...meditate under a tree or mentally cast a circle. If you do a spell, as stated in the Group Activities, try to aim it towards helping the animals who are young, giving birth, or are abandoned.

Most of all, enjoy the season and look forward to the upcoming good weather!
