Episode Details

Welcome back, Witches! This week, we’re continuing Part 2 of our altar series with a seasonal focus on Ostara. We’ll explore what Ostara altars can look like, the themes they often reflect, and how this sabbat invites renewal, balance, and growth into sacred space. Whether your altar is elaborate or simple, this episode is about intention, symbolism, and welcoming the energy of spring. So get in, Loser—because the altar is blooming.
