Ostara’s lucky eggs

Hey witches! Tori here! I hope you are doing fine! 

Ostara is right here so I’ve spent my Saturday making those lucky eggs to celebrate! I liked making them so much and people think they are very pretty so I decided I’d share a few tips with you!

They are really nice to decorate an altar or to give as an offering, or you can keep them with you for luck. Eggs are one of the main symbols of Ostara, as they symbolise birth, creation, fertility, and in a larger way, spring. The colors used can serve a certain intent through correspondence and you can paint sigils for a particular wish or will you need help with.

To make them, you will need : 

Eggs (obviously)

Paper towels or any similar kind of paper

Paint (if you’re going to bury the eggs as offerings, you want to make sure it’s eco-friendly)

Two brushes, a large one and a thinner one

Water

Herbs according to your intent (optional)

A small treat, like chocolate or candy (optional)

Here are the steps. Of course, you can modulate as you see fit : 

Empty your eggs by piercing a hole on each side and blowing through one to make the white and yolk fall from the other. You can use a needle to pierce, and then gently widen the hole with a pointy knife. If you want a full lucky egg, make sure to crack an opening in the shell so that you can put things inside, but keep the two pieces of the shell as you’ll have to glue them back together.

Clean the inside of the shell with water and dry it by blowing inside again. For a full lucky egg, you want it nice and dry so maybe leave it to fully dry for a few hours before painting it.

Optional step for the full lucky egg : fill the egg shell with herbs according to your intent. If you need extra luck, for example, add some mint. If you want the egg to help you be calm and open, add some lavender. If you need luck in your love life, add rose petals. The only limits are your own correspondences and the size of the egg. You can also add a small treat in the egg, as an extra offering.

Now we’re going to start to paint. If you’ve filled it, put the second piece of eggshell over the opening so that it fits.

Rip the paper towels into little pieces.

Gently place a piece on the shell and use your larger brush to dampen it with a mix of paint and water. The water will make it stick to the shell like glue and the paint with give it a nice color. The effect is best with pastel and light colors, because it allows for later touches to be more visible. 

Personal tip : you can use colorful or patterned paper tissues for a different effect! When doing this, just dab water or liquid glue over it.

Keep placing paper pieces until the egg is fully covered and has an even color. Leave it to dry for a little while.

When the egg is dry, paint a sigil you like on one side, and decorate the other side with a pattern - or leave it blank, it’s up to you! And leave it to dry again for a little while more. 

Voilà! You’ve got yourself a pretty lucky egg! Charge the sigil however you like, just mind what you put inside, and remember paper is fragile, so water or fire might not be the best idea if you want to keep your egg for a while.

Things to do with your lucky eggs : 

Make them with your friends, your family, your kids. They are easy and fun to make and can really bring out someone’s inner artist!

Put them on your altar or use them to decorate, they are perfectly Ostara-themed, and if you are christian people will simply assume you are celebrating Easter early.

Use them as offerings, for a deity, a spirit, your favorite plant or the fae hanging around in your garden. Again, just make sure everything you used is eco-friendly if you are going to bury them. They make cute presents too!

Keep them with you for luck. For example, I have my finals coming up and I’ll need so luck and help with my studies. I can make a lucky egg with the intent “I will pass my classes” and keep it with me like some sort of amulet.

A fun thing to do : put a safety wrapped treat in the egg, one that won’t go bad. After the intent is completed (in my example, after I finished my finals), break the egg and eat the treat that has been charged with the same energy as the sigil. The result will be stronger.

Happy Ostara everyone! ~

Thelma Young Lutunatabua:  Mothers are the most underestimated force for change

While many proclaim that our species is doomed, the everyday work of mothers and caregivers shows that a better future is possible — one filled with joy and love. When Trump won the first time in 2016, I drank shots of tequila in front of my computer and then passed out in anguish. When Trump won in 2024, I couldn’t do that. This time around, I was a mom.  By afternoon on election day, the red…
