“ With Salt I purify this circle, 
may no harm enter within.”

When you have finished, replace the salt on the Altar.  Take your Athame or Wand (if you do not own one of these ritual tools, you may use your index finger), and walk around the circle, in a deosil direction, imagining white light streaming out from the Athame/Wand/Finger to create a circle of fire.  As you walk around a second time, imagine the fire growing higher and higher, spreading out under the ground as well.  As you walk around for the third and final time, imagine the fire closing up over the top of you, and joining up under the ground to create a sphere.  When you have finished, stand in the centre of the circle with arms up and say:
 

“I cast this magick circle, 
that it be a boundary between this world, 
and that of the Spirit realm. 
As above [point to the sky],
So below [point to the ground], 
the circle is cast!”

Walk over to the Northern candle, light it.  Stand with arms outstretched, feet slightly apart, saying:
 

“Hail Guardian of the Watchtower of the North, 
Element of Fire. 
I call upon thee to guard and protect, 
to lend your power to mine. 
So mote it be!”

Repeat for the other Elements.  Return to the Altar.  Stand before the Goddess candle (a Silver/white candle), and light it.  Stand with arms outstretched, feet slightly apart, saying:
 

“Holy Mother of the Earth, 
Shining lady of the moon, 
I call upon thee to assist and protect, 
to lend your power to mine.
Welcome, loving Goddess, 
into my circle.”

Stand before the God candle (a Gold/yellow/red candle), and light it.  Stand with arms crossed over your chest, feet together, saying:
 

“Holy Father of the Sky, 
Blazing Lord of the Sun, 
I call upon thee to assist and protect,
to lend your power to mine.
Welcome, loving God, 
into my circle.”

Ostara is a time to start afresh.  One spell to do during this time is to make a list of all the injustices done to you, or done by you.  Spend the week before Ostara to try to make amends for those you have done, and to make peace with those who have done them to you.  (Also try to pay back all debts).  If you have no injustices, simply write a list of all unfinished business you have and try to finish those.  Once you have done this, burn the paper during the ritual to symbolically "wipe the slate clean".  

Get some seeds to plant to symbolise the growth of a new phase of your life.  You can hold the seeds in your hands and dedicate a particular idea or area of your life that you would like to grow.  Plant these and as these grow, so should your idea.  

When you have finished, hold the simple feast.  Don’t forget to leave some as an offering to the Goddess and God which you should pour/crumble into the ground, to give back to Mother Earth.  When you are ready to end the circle, stand before the God candle and say:
 

“Farewell O’ loving Goddess, 
I thank you for your assistance and protection, 
Both within this circle, and in my life.
I now bid you farewell, 
may you go in peace and love. 
Blessed be.”

Blow or pinch out her candle.  Repeat for the God candle. Return to the Western candle, say:
 

“Farewell Guardian of the Watchtower of the West, 
I thank you for your assistance within this circle. 
I bid you now farewell, 
may you go in peace and love. 
Blessed be.”

Blow/pinch out the West candle.  Repeat the above for each of the remaining Elements.  When you have said farewell to the Northern Guardian, walk around the circle widdershins, imagining the white fire that created the circle retracting back into your Athame/Wand/finger.  Walk around doing this 3 times, and when you have returned to the northern point again, put down the Athame/Wand and say:
 

“May the circle be open, 
but  unbroken”

 It is done!!

HPS Says: 
“We gather here tonight to celebrate Ostara"

HP gives a short talk on what Ostara is. 

Each person clears their mind and draws whatever symbol comes to mind on an egg with white crayon.  Place the finished eggs into a basket.

The HP hand out another lot of raw eggs, and have each person hold theirs up to be consecrated. 

The High Priestess Walks around with holy water and anoint each egg, touching Athame to it and say: 
“I consecrate thee in the name of the Goddess and God for growth in human consciousness.” 

The High Priest cuts a door in the Circle and one at a time, each person takes their egg out of the circle (If performing inside, have a large bowl of dirt) and cracks them onto the ground, as each cracks everyone says the following chant.  

“May New awareness hatch, In love and light, For humanity and for the planet, 
In the names of the Great Goddess and God, Blessed be”

When finished they come back to the centre and sit in a circle around a lit cauldron.  One at a time everone writes on a  piece of paper a thing they would like to “grow”, then hands the paper to the next person.  When everyone has written on the paper, the HPS burns the paper in the cauldron, while everyone says:

“Lord and lady, Receive these, our seeds, Let them germinate in our minds and our hearts, 
Let them prosper and grow to maturity, For we will care for them, and encourage them in your name”

When it has turned to ash she tips it on the ground/under a tree.

The HP takes the basket of eggs and brings it before each person, who takes whichever egg they seem drawn to.  The eggs are dipped into food dye to have the symbol revealed
