Gathering: Ostara ritual

The world is quickening, the Spring Equinox approaches, winter has come to its final lingering moments. Come and gather with practising witch Andi Searle to celebrate this great balance where the scales are tipping away from dark and towards light.

Bring with you a spirit of community and gathering for a night of discussion and ritual. Bring a journal, paper and pens, a natural offering to burn in the equinox fire (lavender sprigs, spring flowers, autumnal leaves, Brigid Crosses) and some sort of edible offering to finish off the evening.

There will also be moments of meditation, communion and movement like dance and (weather permitting) jumping over embers.

The ritual will follow this loose structure:

1. Short meditation / quiet reflection (10 mins)

2. Lighting of the equinox fire (weather permitting)

3. Ritual including communal discussions of spirituality, plans for the coming Summer and movement (60 mins)

4. Eating communion (20 mins)

5. Closing moments of discussion and quiet (10 mins)
