OSTARA

Spring is Here


At the spring equinox, Pagans, Wiccans, and Druids celebrate Ostara, also known in Druid traditions as Alban Eilir. The holiday marks the balance and renewal, marking the moment when day and night share equal length before the sun’s growing power tips the scales toward warmer days. Ostara is considered a pivotal point in the “Wheel of the Year,” a cyclical calendar of eight festivals observed by many contemporary Pagan groups around the globe.

Detailed accounts of historical Ostara rituals remain vague. Celebrants draw inspiration from folklore about the Germanic spring goddess Eostre, who they believe is linked to the season’s themes of fertility and rebirth. Today, customs vary but often feature sunrise ceremonies, decorating eggs as symbols of new life, spring cleaning for invigoration, and feasting seasonal foods. 

Druid practitioners may refer to the celebration as Alban Eilir—“Light of the Earth”—emphasizing nature’s reawakening as plumage returns and animals emerge from winter’s hibernation. For adherents, Ostara offers a chance to honor the changing rhythms of the earth, a time of personal growth, and flourishing landscapes promising warmer seasons ahead.
