Corresponding with the Christian celebration of Easter (and both festivals derive their names from the Norse Fertility Goddess Eostre), Ostara is a celebration of life and fertility. In the Southern hemisphere, Ostara falls on the 21st and 22nd of September, and in the Northern hemisphere it falls on the 21st and 22nd of March. It is at this time, the vernal equinox, that poultry begin to increase their lay rate, hence the association with eggs at this time. Symbols of the Equinox include fertile animals (hence the association in the Northern Hemisphere with the rabbit at this time of the year) and eggs - a symbol of new life and new beginnings. Colors of the season are soft green, white, and soft yellow, and the festival is associated with Venus, the Goddess of Love, and with children and childhood innocence. Ostara is also associated with the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, and the festival of Alban Eiler (Scottish). It is one of the two annual points of equilibrium and balance. Ostara is a time for collecting wildflowers, and baskets of flowers are traditional. Also traditional are hats and bonnets decorated with flowers and feathers - it is no coincidence that the many racing carnivals where hats, flowers and feathers are most prized, should fall at this time.</div>"
