Celebrate the balance of light and dark with this Ostara pack, filled with folklore, crafts and seasonal activities that honour the spring equinox and Easter.

This beautifully designed 86 page pack explores the moment when day and night stand equal and the land begins to awaken. From the story of the goddess Ēostre and the dawn hare to simple crafts, baking, art study, and nature observation, it brings together folklore, history, creativity, and hands-on learning.

Like the season itself, the pack focuses on growth, balance, colour, and new beginnings. It weaves together global spring traditions, poetry, seasonal foods, and quiet reflection. The pack is for everyone who loves the seasons, whether you follow the wheel of the year or simply want to make the year more meaningful.

Inside you’ll find:
