( Of this season )

At Ostara the day and night embrace as siblings. This is a season for fertility of mind, body, and spirit — for tending what we planted at Imbolc and trusting it will rise. The diaspora has always known that to plant in spring is an act of faith and revolutionary self-love.

Ancestral Note

Echoes Oshun's golden waters — sweetness, fertility, and the courage to be soft.
