-Have a breakfast of buns, ham and eggs. Save the shells. Throw the shells into your garden or anywhere outside and say:"For fairy, for flowers, for herbs in bowers, the shells pass fertility with springtime showers."
-Color hard boil eggs with dye or paint. Empower one of a specific color of a goal you wish to obtain. Eat the eggs and feel yourself being blessed. (Click here for colors and their meanings)
-Make Hot Cross buns to honor the union of the Earth and the Sun for Spring.
-On Ostara Eve, light a purple candle and burn patchouli incense. Carry them both through the house and say: "Farewell to wintry spirits and friends; On marrow we greet the spirits of spring. Our blessings to thee as your way you wend; and merry we'll meet next winter again." Blow out the candle and say: "Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again."
