Welcome to Round 26 of the WWP Swaps, Ostara Edition!
Ostara, Eostere, the Spring Equinox. The season of balance between light and dark and the celebration of growth and spring. This is the celebration of new life (seed starting and home purification) and new endeavors. Join us for a round of fun!

This swap will consist of a medium and a small. Participants will be decorating or making a basket and stuffing it with at least one small. Making a basket may be considered a medium or if minimial work is done on a basket (one purchased) the participant can create another medium. Do what feels fair in time and effort. (Don't buy a basket, do nothing to it and only make a small. This swap calls for a medium and a small). The term "basket' can also include bowls and other containers to put Ostara-related things in! Be creative!

Ideas may include things like candles, sage smudging sticks, incense blends, altar decorations, related recipes, spells and related artwork!

Have to check my shedule, but I *may* be in! A medium and a small aren't the world..

[Wulf]

I'm in!

To get us started, here's author Judika Illes on Easter eggs:

When a major fertility symbol like a rabbit presents another fertility symbol, like an egg, a very clear message is being sent. (For those unfamiliar with the birds and the bees, in real life rabbits do not hatch eggs, ever. Should a rabbit ever be seen with an egg, something magical is going on.)

Yay! I don't care what the calendar, the thermometer or the snowplow say, Spring begins NOW!

[spazgirl1981]

I am in... Sorry I missed the last round and have been so quiet. I'm jumping back in now.

Wulf...that quote is amazing. I love it!!!

[Radmom]

In it and signed up already.

[impchild]

awww why not.  just because i have 2 other pagan swaps due that week is no reason to miss this one. lol that puts my to do list to 1 med, 2 small; 2 small; and 1 med 1 small... i can do that with a very active 3 yo right??

[whileitsraining]

ok sent in my questionaire.  i did notice that it didn't have the What allergens are in your home question most do, so I added mine in the anything else.  I just get paranoid because I have 4 cats in my home and really don't want to kill anyone.

[monnie31]

I did the same because I have 7 cats, 4 dogs, a goat and a wood stove!

[morrigan_le_faye]

Wow, you've got a lot of pets! I'm a bit jealous.. I did the same, too, because I have two cats and a wood burning stove.

[monnie31]

they flock to me, cats especially...
