Blessed Be and welcome to the African American Wiccan Support Group. It is my belief that there are many African Americans like myself, who are interested in the structure of the Wiccan philosophy, but have no support system, as there are with others religions such as Kemetic, Egyptian, Shango, Voodum and etc. Please join us and have a drink of warm wine. You have found a home to discuss the theory of Wicca, swap knowledge and spells, and share your experiences. This belief system is new to many of us, but please leave all negative energy outside of the door. It is my wish that this group helps people of color to ease into this earth based system, learn about African deities, learn to commune with the Ancestral Spirits and pay honor to the Mother-Goddess and Her Consort.

Ostara -- The Spring Equinox- The Vernal Equinox. Just a few names applied to the celebration of the spring. The origin of the word Ostara is actually from Eostre, an old Germanic goddess of Spring who had a pet rabbit who gave colored eggs to the children. The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night). This is because around March 20th to March 23rd day and night is equal in time, because the Sun becomes vertically above a point on the Equator. Ostara is a Wiccan Sabbat of Light and Renewal. In March we celebrate the ending of the cold long nights and rejoice to the return of the light, grass, new life, rebirth new crops and the bright Sun. Most of all we take witness to the energy that begins to pulsate through Mother Earth and we feel alive with that power. This is the reason they call it Spring.

During the day, Nuit and Geb are separated, but each evening Nuit comes down to meet Geb (Her earth Husband) and this causes darkness. Nuit is the barrier separating the forces of chaos from the ordered cosmos in this world.
