these little folk
wishing Ostara
one month early

missing
the shining lady
of threads

welcome Hretha
goddess
of the equinox!

(There is a modern practice, totally at variance with historical custom, of wishing "Happy Ostara" at the Spring Equinox. This misses the traditional April celebration of Eostre/Ostara, and misses the chance to celebrate the March festival of Hretha.)
