The spring equinox, or vernal equinox, marks the official first day of spring
The Spring Equinox (or Ostara) represents a powerful spiritual turning point, symbolizing rebirth, renewal, and the perfect balance between light and dark. It marks the end of winter’s dormancy, initiating a time of increasing energy, growth, fertility, and the planting of energetic seeds for the future.
