This is part of a Wednesday series on Goddess spirituality and political activism.
A slightly belated happy Ostara to all of you. Ostara or Eastre is the celebration of the spring equinox, when the light and dark are equal and the earth emerges from the time of darkness and cold. Many of the myths for this time of year speak of returning from a journey to the Underworld, such as the story of Demeter and Persephone .
