Welcome to The Bell Witch Podcast- 'Witching in the 21st Century' In this 'Solitary Witch' episode of The Bell Witch Podcast, Swailes the Friendly Green Witch of Leeds England, celebrates Ostara AKA the Spring Equinox. She explores the folklore, mythology, and pagan/wiccan history of the sabat as well as the goddess Eostre. Swailes shares a magical story inspired by Ukrainian legend, and discusses the symbolism of hares, eggs, and spring renewal. Swailes offers practical rituals, altar ideas, and natural egg-dyeing tips, while highlighting the evolution of Ostara in modern witchcraft. Listeners are encouraged to embrace the season’s energy of balance, growth, and transformation, and to celebrate the awakening earth with creativity and intention, sprinkled with a little bit of Yorkshire humour!
