The Bird that Calls: Ostara 2011
Despite some very unpredictable, stormy weather, our Ostara ritual was a wonderful celebration of the return of spring.
After moving the ritual back into one of the classrooms at OCUUC, we celebrated spring with calling the birds, learning what they had to say to us, and participating in “an old fashioned Ostara-egg hunt.”
Some of us found that we were warblers, carrying the need to express ourselves. Others were hummingbirds, imploring us to find the sweetness in life. A few of us even learned of the bluebird song in our hearts. Too bad there wasn’t a bird that told us about adapting to new circumstances, but then we had already done that!
Thanks to everyone who came to our little classroom despite the weather- especially to the Young Adults who joined us. You brought a lot of fun and energy to our celebration.
Beltane will be celebrated at Victoria Vista Park, across from the church, on May 1. See you there!
