Ostara Oracle Cards for Spring Equinox and Renewal Work
Ostara falls at the spring equinox, typically March 19 to 21, and marks the precise moment when day and night achieve equal length before light begins to dominate. In Germanic and Norse folk tradition, the festival honored Eostre, a dawn goddess associated with the hare and the egg, two symbols later absorbed into modern Easter imagery. Lorriane Anderson and Juliet Diaz bring that equinox energy into a 44-card oracle illustrated by Tijana Lukovic, with silver-gilded edges and a guidebook structured around balance, renewal, and second chances.
This is the eighth and final deck in the Season of the Witch oracle series, completing the full Wheel of the Year. The Ostara guidebook includes spreads for the spring equinox, the astrological season of Aries, and the Jasmine full moon. Card themes span alignment, balance, cleansing, growth, new beginnings, patience, planting seeds, rebirth, and renewal. The deck works particularly well for readings focused on what has survived the winter and is now ready to emerge, or for identifying what needs tending before it can fully bloom.
How Ostara Differs from Samhain and Beltane in This Series
On the Wheel of the Year, Samhain and Ostara sit nearly opposite each other: Samhain is the death gate at the end of October, and Ostara is the renewal point in late March. Where the Samhain Oracle pulls toward ancestor work, grief, and shadow, the Ostara Oracle orients toward freshness, emergence, and second chances. Beltane, which comes six weeks after Ostara, carries exuberant fire and fertility energy. Ostara is quieter than Beltane, more about the tender green shoot than the bonfire, and readings with this deck tend to reflect that more delicate, possibility-forward quality.
Practitioners who work the full Wheel of the Year will find that the Ostara Oracle fills the transition from dark to light in a way no general-purpose deck can replicate. The guidebook's second-chance spread is particularly useful around the spring equinox for reexamining relationships or projects that stalled over winter. Collectors completing the Season of the Witch series will note that Tijana Lukovic's illustration style for Ostara gives the deck a slightly softer, more hopeful visual tone than the earlier, darker entries.

How to Use Seasons of the Witch Ostara Oracle
Use these steps to get the most from the Ostara Oracle during spring equinox work, renewal readings, or Wheel of the Year practice.
-
Align Your Space with Spring Energy
Before your reading, place something green or living near your spread cloth, a plant, flower, or seeds. The Ostara Oracle responds well to readings done in natural light, as equinox themes are tied to the return of sun after winter.
-
Use the Second Chance or Seed-Planting Spread
The guidebook contains equinox spreads including a second chance layout for revisiting stalled relationships or projects. A three-card layout also works: what survived winter, what is ready to grow, and what still needs patient tending.
-
Record Themes of Balance and Emergence
Ostara readings often surface themes of balance and timing. After your pull, note which cards address the tension between readiness and patience. Revisiting these notes at Beltane, six weeks later, reveals what actually took root.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
Ostara is the final piece of the Season of the Witch puzzle, and I stock it because completing the full eight-deck series gives practitioners a genuinely different oracle for each point on the Wheel. Tijana Lukovic's illustrations bring a fresh lightness that distinguishes this entry from the darker sabbat decks, and the guidebook earns its place with well-constructed spreads that go beyond generic spring advice. If you are building a seasonal practice, this deck closes the circle. See my full tarot and divination collection for the complete set.
