KEY TAKEAWAYS
Ostara, a celebration of the spring equinox in pagan and Wiccan traditions, embraces colors that reflect the essence of spring’s renewal.
These lovely Ostara colors include pastel pink, symbolizing love and new beginnings; pastel blue, representing serenity and balance; and green, signifying growth and abundance.
Using pastel pink, pastel blue, and green in Ostara rituals deepens your connection to spring’s themes of rebirth and vitality, amplifying their symbolic significance in your celebrations.
Working with these colors in rituals and decorations during Ostara can enhance your connection to the season’s themes of rebirth and vitality.
However, Ostara is also a time for elimination and leaving behind the “old.”
We can renew our spaces, such as our homes, places of protection, and personal sacred spaces.
We can achieve this through both practical and energetic cleansing, like lighting candles and herbal incense.

Additionally, we can celebrate our inner renewal by meditating on the start of another turn of the wheel of the year.
Ostara marks the triumphant awakening of Nature, a time when the perfect balance between Light and Shadow reigns, and solar hours equal those of the night.
For the Earth and our Souls, it’s a fertile and transformative period.
It’s a time for rebirth, planting new seeds and intentions, which will flourish under the warm spring sun.
