Next holiday is Ostara



Ostara, the vernal equinox, is the time when light and dark are even as the light begins to overtake the darkness and our days become longer. It is a time of rebirth and renewal. As the vegetation begins to awaken and the seeds begin to grow so does the yearning to give birth to new life. The animal kingdom is also giving birth so walk softly upon mother earth's loins and allow all live to flourish.

This time of the year was named after our fertility goddess Ostara /Ēostre but many know it by another name, Easter. It is a time of planting gardens and sowing seeds, starting new crafts, new ideas, and partaking of the great outdoors as our mother Earth comes alive with her nurturing intent. As we watch our seeds - alive with intent - take hold, we send forth what we wish to get back at the time of harvest.

There are many crafts that mark this time of year. Some of my favorites are:
  1. Baskets made of string or yarn made around a balloon after dipping the string into fabric softener. You can do this as traditional basket or as a basket with a circle cut out on the side to add your Easter grass and eggs.

  2. Make a wish eggs: To make these you simply, poke holes in the top and bottom of your raw egg and blow out the egg. Then draw the things you wish to take hold in the months to come with a crayon or magic marker and then dye your egg with any of the natural dyes below or store bought dyes for eggs. If asking for money you might want to color it green, for love color it red, for friendship or world peace color it pink, to cool someone's emotions color it blue, and so on. Then when you are done bury it in the ground or in a planter if the ground is frozen. Then plant a plant over it. Remember to nurture your plant as you would your dreams for your future, water and care for your plant. 

  3. Making Easter eggs to last for years. Start early blowing your eggs of the raw insides so they can be saved year after year. Then have your child/ children decorate them. This is a wonderful child's craft and a keepsake for future Ostara celebrations. Many years from now they well be treasured keep sakes.

  1. I have been casting spells for many years and I have helped many people, I might be able to help you too. I am honest, and I genuinely care for all the clients who choose me to cast a spell for them.


    If you have any questions about Love, Money, curse, protection, bad luck, divorce, court cases, or about me please call or email me. I really want you to feel comfortable before moving forward with any spells, or other services. I will take the time to explain things to you and provide you with honest advice, to what is best for your situation. I will not pressure you into having a spell cast, I will leave that decision up to you, and when or if you decide to move forward, I might be able to help you.
    I will respect your Privacy. I will not seek to obtain any of your personal information beyond what you might voluntarily offer and all information you might give me including emails, phone numbers and photos will remain private and confidential.
    I perform my Rituals only at night between the hours of 0.00 - 0.59 (South African time) lasting 1 hour but of course, this depends on the nature of the ritual, some rituals might take hours and can also become necessary to be performed at specials places like; flowing streams, cemeteries and other places dictated by the gods.
    I do not want anyone to be under any illusions about my spells and its numerous rituals. Real and effective Voodoo is no child's play, it is expensive because, after the rituals, I will have to destroy all the materials involved by fire and the ashes scattered over a flowing stream or river.
    You will get what you seek.But please understand this might take a lot of time and that individual results may vary. contact +27663492930, greatogudugu@gmail.com
