The Frederick CUUPS Ostara Ritual will be Monday, March 20th, at 7 pm. Like all Frederick CUUPS rituals, Ostara is open to everyone and family-friendly! On the first day of Spring, when day and night are balanced, Pagans honor that balance and seek it within while rejoicing in the stirrings of life in Nature.  We will be using two chants during our ritual, and in this video, Frederick CUUPS Co-Chair Irene demonstrates the chants as well as talks a little bit about the holiday.

First chant:

Open, open, open to the light
Open, open, farewell to the night

Second chant:

We are opening up to the sweet surrender
Of the luminous love-light of the One
We are opening up to the sweet surrender
Of the luminous love-light of the One
We are opening, we are opening
We are opening, we are opening

Please feel free to bring hand drums or other percussion instruments. There will be a potluck after the ritual.  Please clearly LABEL any offerings with the ingredients included.
