1. Set Up an Ostara/Spring Equinox Altar
Look for items to lay at the bottom of your altar like pennies, rosemary, and corn cob, representing fertility, growth, and new beginnings. Don't be afraid to get creative.
Add crystals such as sunstone, peridot, green aventurine, amber, carnelian, or ocean jasper.
Adding herbs such as dandelion, rose, nettle, jasmine, cleavers, honeysuckle, and rosemary will help your mind or soul "enter the spirit world."
You can also decorate your interior by using pastel colors or hanging spring flowers and daisies on the walls. Or you can use spring goods in your home to create a wall display.
2. Do A Water Blessing Ceremony
Sit quietly with a jug of water and think about its importance. Keep in mind how the earth was created and why water is crucial to life.
Pour the water from a pitcher into a clean bowl four times. As you pour, be sure to send positive energy to the water
The first pour symbolizes your appreciation of life.
The second pour stands for your appreciation of those who lived before you.
The third pour represents your appreciation of future prospects.
The fourth pour expresses your desire for a balanced life.
Bless the water and fill your water bottle with it. Drink the water the entire day.

3. Make Equinox Promises To Yourself
Think about those moments you were harsh to yourself. Let them go by telling yourself that there's no one more important than yourself. Promise you'll embrace yourself and love yourself.
Write a letter making vows and promises to yourself that you intend to keep.
4. Write A List of Wishes To The Universe
Get reflective by writing a list of all the things that went well this year and all the things that you are thankful for. Write a wish list for future goals or desires. Think about the ways how you are going to achieve them.
Burn the list in a fireproof bowl, making sure ashes do not scatter around.
Take any spring fruit or vegetable, place it on the ground, and scatter the ashes around them. Thank Mother Earth for answering your prayers in advance.

5. Replenish Your Energy
Try to obtain a ripe pomegranate. Extract six seeds and find some quiet place.
Light a candle, place one arm on your heart, and the other one on your stomach. Then slowly inhale and exhale for a minute.
While eating the seeds, think about their meaning. The seeds represent all the good qualities in your life; self-respect, creativity, empathy, transformation, and wisdom. The sixth seed acknowledges the importance of different life cycles.
6. Make Spring Packages
You can make spring packages by filling small bags with things like candies, dried fruits, crystals, socks - anything you like or associate with spring.
Hand them out to people on the street.
Wrapping Up
Spring is here, and it is time to bring more sacred rituals and heartfelt intentions into the cycle of living.
By setting an alternate altar, performing a water blessing ceremony, writing a list of wishes, and having fresh intentions, we can make spring an eye-opener and life's voice anew.
Ritualizing for the spring equinox will help create an experience of awakening, empowerment, and joy, along with a feeling of gratitude for the beauty of nature.
Devote some time to figuring out your own personal rituals that will help you to tap into the energy and promise of the approaching spring.
We hope that by sharing these rituals, we can find the peace and simplicity to feel compassion and gratitude in our lives. Happy Equinox!
