Ostara Blessings



Ostara (Eostre) is an especially meaningful sabbat for me, the day that I honor several significant beginnings and endings in my life. It is the day in which I filed for divorce from my first husband and coincidentally married my second one short year later. Unbelievably, it is also the day on which I ended my second marriage, 16 years after making those vows to each other.

So today I will reflect on those two relationships, the joy as well as the sorrow that they brought into my life, and then I will turn away from the cold dark memories to face the bright new day which is now and the beauty that awaits me in the future.
