The Spring Equinox is the point of equilibrium, and it celebrates the arrival of Spring, when light and darkness are in balance but the light is growing stronger.
The forces of male and female are also in balance.
The Easter Bunny and colored eggs are of Pagan origin, as are baskets of flowers.
A traditional Vernal Equinox pastime: go to a field and randomly collect wildflowers (thank the flowers for their sacrifice before picking them.) Or, buy some from a florist, taking one or two of those that appeal to you the most. Then bring them home and divine their magickal meanings by the use of books, your own intuition, a pendulum or by other means. The flowers you've chosen reveal your inner thoughts and emotions.
Cultivating herb gardens is also a fine Ostara project. This is the time to free yourself from anything in the past that is holding you back.
