This will be my first Ostara as a witch. I made an altar with a rabbit, eggs and pastel crystals. I also bought pink roses and fresh lavender today.

[@debbiejeanscott955]

Sounds lovely. I enjoy hearing about other's altars .

[@machinegunbabygirl]

itll be mine too! im planning on making an altar soon and i am hopefully going shopping tomorrow :)

[@emer_ald7174]

it'll be my first ostara as well🥰

[@JanessaBermudez-cv2nj]

Hello this is my first ostara that I'm celebrating and I need alter ideas 💜💜💜 Thank you. Also what are some rituals you guys are doing?

[@Bellllllz]

I love that you redo these videos every equinox/solstice and in-between.

[@rowanrobbins]

I still color eggs for the celebration. It usually overlaps with Easter, although I don't celebrate that anymore. There is also a nice dinner at the Equinox, often a stuffed chicken and green veggie sides. Have a lovely Ostara everyone!

[@rosemadder5547]

I do as well. I escaped Christianity a few years ago and have carried over some of the Easter holiday. It’s super pagan even in the Christian version anyway 😂 My son is just 9 so the pressure to celebrate the way the Christian’s do is a pain…

[@LeahWalentosky]

I still have winter for another few months, however maple season is here and there is a lot of culture significance around maple syrups with with Ojabwai tribe in my area so I am going to use that in my magical working. I live by the Great Lakes of North America, so I am going to the beach to honor her and a frozen waterfall to listen to the ice break

[@jillstedtenfeldt6799]

In Sweden we don't do the hare/rabbit thing, we do rooster, hens and chickens. The rooster lay eggs once a year, at easter. Hence the colourful eggs. :)

[@1cruzbat1]

That's really interesting! Thank you for sharing this! I love learning about other traditions. Do the kids get Easter baskets?

[@andreat.6991]

Yo vivo en el hemisferio sur,igual celebro las fechas,es muy complicado invertirlas.✨️👌🏻 Feliz Ostara para todos .🍁🪻🌷🌼🪺🪺🪺🪺🪺🪺 En Chile entramos a Otoño🍁,ustedes a primavera.🪻 Como tradicion familiar siempre celebramos Österreich,mi familia paterna llegó de Austria y Rusia y las tradiciones las hemos conservado.🧙‍♂️🧚🧙‍♀️🧝‍♀️a pesar de las falacias y discriminaciones por parte de los que se creen dueños de la verdad.Un gran abrazo fraternal🤗💖a todos los wiccas y paganos en estas celebraciones.✨️👌🏻🇨🇱

[@shitchannel4you156]

Nice

[@shitchannel4you156]

SPRINGTIME IS THE BEST THEN IT COMES TO BOTH WITCHCRAFT AND HEALING PRACTIS.

[@VenusManTrap-777]

The hens lay the eggs, not ten roosters since they are male. But that’s really interesting!

[@mysticalmidnightmoon]

I would absolutely love to see how you do a tarot card reading.🌛🌌 blessed be from a moon witch🔮🌜🧹

[@invadertifxiii]

im not a witch but more so a spiritual pagan so i just started with samhain celebrating the wheel of the year and this was my first ostara, i did spring cleaning and set up my ostara bowl, very simple

[@boop8685]

Been waiting for this video 🥰 I always love seeing these pop up in my notifications before each holiday/festival 🌙✨

[@someonerandom256]

I'm making sun tea with loose leaf green tea and Egyptian blue water lily. I have my little candle altar that I do for all the sabbats, decorated with flowers, crystals, salts etc in Ostara colors, and I'm wearing some pastel colors too. I'm going to go on a walk later and take some nature photos, and tonight I'll take a ritual bath and do an oracle spread for past, present, and future. I live in a rather sacred place as it is, inside a volcanic crater, right at the edge.

[@sunkissedchaos]

I really appreciate your approach - it feels all inclusive for a very seasoned witch and also a beginner. love the green eyeshadow & those earrings too! happy Ostara season to all xx

[@kiram.3619]

Listening to the ice break is such a great idea! Thank you

[@tarottarantulas]

YES to a TAROT SPREAD VIDEO 🌱💕🌿💚

[@marlyd]

Tarot video please 🙃

[@yopi_yopi]

I was so unmotivated this year so this video is actually really helpful atm to remind me of what I could do.

[@wumblebumblebee]

Yes please for tarot spreads 🙏

[@rayrayravenclaw4385]

Merry Spring to all.

[@CelticCarving]

Since I do wood carving, can I make wooden eggs for ostara?

[@knotqueen2419]

Wooden eggs for Ostara sounds like a wonderful idea. They are also protective. Wooden eggs keep chickens from pecking their real eggs.

[@greenglassgoblin]

I would love a tarot video from you! Your style of practicing really resonates with me so I'm curious how you read tarot as well. Thanks for the video!

[@ravens_tale]

Currently -12C and 10 inches of snow where I am. Not really putting you in the spring feels😔

[@ClickityStitchWitch]

Thank you for a lovely video, full of amazing ideas ❤️ I would definitely love it if you did a sabbat tarot spread video! There are so many out there, it's confusing 😕

[@butterflyfantasy84]

Blessed Ostara! Such a wonderful and informative video. Thank you ❤

[@pamelasavage5157]

Hearth I know you have talked about having Christain witch friends Hun. Could you please ask them for others that we maybe able to follow as christain witches. And see how they go about there practicing. I think that would be interesting and something not Alot of information about and hard for those that do walk that path and relates to it. Maybe have them over or a get together and do a video with them that would be pretty cool I think. Love always and Blessed Be 💜

[@heatherk1321]

Yes I would love this too!

[@dianad7759]

I would love to see a video on this too!

[@mossboss2718]

Would love to see tarot spreads

[@PrynnePrue]

Thank you, Hearth🙂 great content as always :-) Your altar looks so beautiful🌸 this is my first time celebrating Ostara as a witch and I love the idea of planting seeds, for example of clover, inspired by what you said😊 it would be cool If one would grow with four leafs😉🍀💚 I guess that would be a sign of positive energies :) I would also love the idea of a tarot reading🔮 Merry Ostara to all!💐🐣🐇

[@Liv-gr5vl]

Thank you for another great video! 😀 Also, I love your earrings 🤩 can I ask where you got them?

[@mindyroberts5034]

They are River Island. I couldn't find them on the website, though.

[@artawhirler]

Thanks for doing this! I always like your videos on how to celebrate the solstices and equinoxes!

[@knotqueen2419]

Yes on the Tarot Spreads.

[@momofdeux]

[@dylanmagoiofthethalasso4032]

[@tammyporte755]

[@mikey42325]

Your altar is very cute !

[@animemenga125]

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Hearth. Happy Ostara. Love You 🥰

[@leigh-annwalworth1283]

Thank you and blessed Ostara to you! I enjoy your videos and would love more videos on tarot spreads!

[@staceybaker4925]

[@invadertifxiii]

[@relik0fages]

A great video as always. Thank you.

[@TheCollective...666]

Ty very much. 🖤🤘🖤

[@alexandriahunt6058]

Thank you for this ❤ I don't have the energy to go all-out with my Ostara celebration this year (and the weather has been yucky). This gives me ideas for simple things I can do when I come home from work.

[@artawhirler]

It doesn't take much imagination to see how the word "Ostara" got changed into the word "Easter".

[@acrigon]

Those Earrings!! They are absolutely Stunning!! I love them! Where could we get a pair?

[@lesacotto5188]

It is my granddaughter's first trip around the wheel. Can't wait to hunt eggs with her.

[@Scarlett-Echo]

I'm planting seeds of all the following! : jalenpeno's, red bell peppers, orange bell peppers, pepperoncini peppers, rosemary, onions, motherwort, rosemary, belladonna , red poppies & wildflowers! I'm also buying & planting tomato sprouts! I'm so excited to make my garden larger this year!! I also bought a mini cypress tree ilk keep in the house this year. 2 years I ago planted a double knockout rose bush that's doing well. I buried my beloved cat last april beside the roses. I love gardening to eat & use the other plants & flowers for workings. 100% recommend. XX 💙

[@goreckinora68]

I haven't done my altar yet. Also, I want to update you about the thing in my bed. Turns out it is a spirit,and turns out to be a good one. I found out with my penduelum(I know that's wrong). Wish me luck Hearth!

[@alexandrawormuth1986]

Hearth, I always look forward to your videos - and a tarot spread video would be lovely!

[@vxlley_flower5672]

This will be my first Ostara that I'm actually trying to celebrate/have time to! I'm so glad youtube recommended your channel to me; can't wait to watch and learn more!

[@leilaboshoff5618]

We in South Africa have easter....ostara...at the beginning of winter

[@danielwortner9051]

I follow you on Instagram..but, try and watch your videos on KZbin....I like all the information you give on your videos...I do a lot of research...and your videos inspire me...thank you...I like your altar...

[@silverlightyoake9938]

What's honestly hilarious on my end is that on Imbolc I wanted to begin the process of manifesting a new home. There have been bumps in the road but we recently got a new home secured. Our last day is on the 21st and the move out/move in is on the 22nd. Definitely going to be doing a cleanse around the new apartment so this move is very symbolic. Wonderful video Hearth!

[@chamn5742]

Thank you as always for the great insights ! I would also be very interested in videos about your tarots spreads !! Wishing you a beautiful celebration !

[@honeyfaewoman]

I was wondering if you would do a longer video style about the Fae within the British isles with book recommendations for further learning (And maybe some other content creators that know about the Fae).

[@pixelbrushcafe6531]

Thanks for the video! As others have said, opening the windows to get everything flowing well today for the new cycle!

[@casachezdoom2588]

I would definitely appreciate videos on various tarot spreads!

[@josephhilt2423]

If we can bend the trees with our minds into perfect gothic form, yeah, that would be great

[@bobbieboothroyd8531]

You learn something new everyday. Have a lovely Easter and I will look forward to your next video

[@hannahwells9397]

Can I just say, you are one of my favorite people, and feminist men are not slapping asses without consent.

[@AzhidaReminiec9999]

Could Chili Peppers have protective properties? Hearth, Could you do a video on tarot spreads ?

[@dianad7759]

Hey I just found out how tho pronounce Ēostre (yow-str)! Said you wanted to know!😊

[@rainspiritflower2385]

Dear Hearthwitch, Could you tell me what to plant close around the bottom of my house all the way around that will repel rats & thereby keep me housed.

[@juliereminiec4937]

Can a Black Sage bundle be used for smudging ? ( in the place of White Sage)

[@paperstorycraft]

I wonder if I can do papermache would work instead of using an egg for a vegan option for dying or ritual option.

[@sanzeakatesoul]

Thank you for this video💚please do more Astro/tarot vids🌠🃏

[@tomkirma5872]

Hey hearth, I just want to say thank you, you are some of the reason I overcame my depression, so thank you so much, I will never forget it! And of course thank you for another amazing video

[@ElenaSemanova]

I adore your - what I think is - Ostara-themed make-up ^_^

[@niqiplansformagic]

Informative video as usual, thank you 🙏

[@jessicaw1839]

Thank you for these ideas. Also I, for one, would love for you to do some videos on tarot spreads.

[@williampatchen]

I gave up smoking and will make a point to go out side and look at the stars at night

[@hadarovadia3869]

13:59 the moment she said "an injured bird" I saw a dead bird with it's chest open

[@O_Ciel_Phant0mhive]

Have a happy Ostara everyone !

[@Miscellaneous-s9m]

I light candles and listen to music and do a meditation.

[@avanablackburn]

Thank you so much for sharing Ostara ideas with us 💕🥚 🐰🦜 💐 you have helped me a lot! Lots of love to you! Blessed Ostara 🤍🤍

[@aliciaval2999]

Omgggg I'm in love with your earrings 😍

[@CommonSins]

Thank you, Hearth. I’ve become addicted to your very informative videos, dulcet voice and perfect diction. 🖤🤍

[@WrekWarship]

It'd be really cool to see you do videos on divination. We all do it differently and i love seeing other people at work. Sometimes i adopt a new method/technique/enhancement that way.

[@ebeth34]

I love your earrings! Where did you get them?

[@rhyannonsparks1457]

Thanks for helping me my first Ostera! I’d love a video on tarot spreads :)

[@themiddleones11]

Ah, I thought I had notifications on, now on to binge. Ostara has never been my favorite Sabbat, but this year I got so many ideas I want to try out

This video was so kind. I have been watching you for a long time and each year i watch your festival videos, but this year’s felt particularly gentle and encouraging. which was wonderful as i lapsed in my practice this year and am using the equinox to revitalize it. thank you!

[@Windsong71]

Love this…. I hoped up my windows to let that air in. So many new beginnings are taking place and actually excited ❤️
