An Ostara Story: The Children's Wheel of the Year

The Wheel of the Year is a pagan calendar that celebrates the changing seasons. It is divided into eight sabbats, each of which marks a different point in the year. The sabbats are:

• Samhain: The festival of the dead, celebrated on October 31st.
• Yule: The winter solstice, celebrated on December 21st or 22nd.
• Imbolc: The festival of light, celebrated on February 1st or 2nd.
• Ostara: The spring equinox, celebrated on March 20th or 21st.
• Beltane: The festival of fire, celebrated on April 30th or May 1st.
• Litha: The summer solstice, celebrated on June 20th or 21st.
• Lughnasadh: The festival of the harvest, celebrated on August 1st or 2nd.
• Mabon: The autumn equinox, celebrated on September 20th or 21st.

Each sabbat has its own unique traditions and rituals. For example, at Samhain, people often light bonfires to ward off evil spirits. At Yule, people often decorate their homes with evergreen boughs and lights to celebrate the return of the sun. At Ostara, people often plant seeds and flowers to celebrate the coming of spring.

Nature is an important part of the Wheel of the Year. The sabbats are all based on the changing seasons, and they celebrate the beauty and bounty of the natural world. An Ostara Story teaches children about the importance of nature and the interconnectedness of all things.
