Episode 27 | The Wheel Turns: Embracing Ostara’s Energy in Your Practice

Witching Out Loud

Send us a text

Kristal and Kate unpack Ostara, a relatively modern pagan holiday. They discuss the etymology of the word ‘ostara’ and its relationship to various European cultures and calendars. Originally, Ostara was observed in April but the celebration of Ostara is a rather nebulous season of spring, generally. They share symbols, associations and practices, ultimately concluding that Ostara 2025 should be about sensual self care.
