The spring equinox is one of two equinoxes that happen throughout the year. The equinox is a time when there is equal length between the night and day, while being halfway between the solstices. Ostara is connected to the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn, Eostra, who oversees the budding of plants and fertility. It is […]
