A couple of years ago I read about using the energy from the full moon to charge water for future use in spells, cleansing, whatever.\u00a0 I don’t remember which author it was to give proper credit, but I use it quite often and Ostara happens to come under that category.\u00a0 It’s best to use spring, ocean, or rain water, something from the elements and catch it in a non-metallic container.\u00a0 Put the container outside where the light of the full moon can shine on it unobstructed all night and then bring it in before it is touched by the sun.\u00a0 Keep it somewhere dark like a closet, etc., and dip it out to charge for use.\u00a0 In my Ostara ritual I am specific about the mountains I’m lucky enough to live in since Spring here is like watching the Earth Mother reawake every year and that in and of itself is a blessing, Happy Ostara!!!<\/p>\n
On this blessed first day of Spring I cleanse and claim this sacred ring<\/p>\n
With water touched by Goddess light under the Horned God’s golden light<\/p>\n
My altar too is sacred ground, blessings of love and joy abound<\/p>\n
Witnessed by both stone and tree<\/p>\n
This is my will so mote it be!<\/p>\n
I give thanks for the blessings of Spring<\/p>\n
The mother brings new life to everything<\/p>\n
She lovingly whispers to each creature and tree<\/p>\n
Come dance in my circle I have new life for thee<\/p>\n
And here in my own circle I ask the Mother’s gift<\/p>\n
That along with all the seeds and bulbs<\/p>\n
My spirit too will lift<\/p>\n
It’s Ostara in the mountains which are a gift to me<\/p>\n
And it is with deepest reverance I give my thanks to thee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
