Planting a seed at this time of year is both therapeutic and a way of connecting with the earth. This can be used in many ways, from simply being a symbol of your commitments to something/someone to working earth magic, or some initiatory spell, such as a new start.
Choose a seed or bulb of a flower/plant you like and know well. As you plant it, visualise whatever you are planting it for, so if it is a new business, see it flourishing. If it is the hope of love, see yourself happy rather than with anyone in particular.
Really getting your fingers dirty is part of the key to this, feeling the soil on your skin. There is something tactile about this act and it does bring you closer to your environment, even if only on a micro-scale.
Planting a tree is another option. I would use this for a large project or in memory of someone you love.
Many people mistakenly call this Ostara. This is, as I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, ignorance that has been perpetuated. Ostara was an April Goddess and was never linked to the Spring Equinox. Whichever Goddess/God you feel is right, in a maiden phase is best, would be very suitable here.
