The witches’ cookery

Naturally Modern Witch

Here in Maryland, we’ve been having some freaky weather. It’s generally chilly in this month but we’ve also had some snowfall (though nothing sticks to the ground). Flowers, however, are blooming. We have Daffodils and Crocus blooming and the grass is green. Buds are on the trees.

For me, Ostara is about celebrating these signs of spring. I don’t garden so there’s no toiling or planting for me, but I do cultivate the idea of symbollic planting of goals. To achieve these goals, you need to weed and cultivate, assessing your steps and adjust accordingly.

Past equinoxes, I would start spring cleaning. take walks along the river, leave offerings of seeds, fruit, etc in the woods, or make crafts like ribbon crafts (like ribbon chandalier), candle shaped like eggs, making cookies, ro decorating eggs (and eating them later).

Some recipes:

Egg salad in crescent ‘carrots’

Lemon Mini Tartlets
