Meet Astera: The Goddess of Spring, Fertility, and New Beginnings
Astera, the ancient Germanic goddess of spring, embodies the energy of renewal, fertility, and sensual awakening. Her presence is felt in the budding flowers, the warmth of the sun, and the new life that emerges at the spring equinox. Known as a virgin goddess, Astera represents both independence and the power of new beginnings.

Astera is a goddess of fertility and growth, but she is also known as a "virgin goddess"—not in the modern sense of celibacy, but as a woman complete unto herself, independent and powerful.
Astera’s myth centers on her ability to bring life back to the earth. As the goddess of spring, she ushers in a time of fertility and abundance, bringing new energy and vitality. She symbolizes the potential for growth and new beginnings, encouraging us to let go of the past and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead.

1. Plant the Seeds of Desire: Set Your Intentions for Growth
Astera’s energy is all about planting seeds—both literally and metaphorically. The first step to embracing new beginnings is to set your intentions for what you wish to grow in your life. What aspects of your sensuality do you want to cultivate? What desires have been lying dormant, waiting for the warmth of spring to bring them to life?
How to Plant the Seeds of Desire:
Create a Sacred Space: Find a quiet place where you can reflect. Light a green or yellow candle to symbolize growth and renewal.
Write Your Intentions: Write down your desires—whether it’s reconnecting with your body, exploring a new aspect of your sexuality, or simply inviting more pleasure into your life.
Plant Them Physically: If possible, plant some seeds in a small pot or garden as a symbolic gesture of your intentions. Each time you water the seeds, remind yourself of the intentions you’ve set.
2. Embrace Sensual Play: Reconnect with Your Senses
Astera is the goddess of sensual awakening, and the spring season is a perfect time to reconnect with your senses. The world is coming to life—flowers are blooming, the air is warming, and the days are getting longer. Allow yourself to fully experience this awakening by engaging all of your senses.
How to Embrace Sensual Play:
Nature Walk: Take a walk in nature and allow yourself to fully experience the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations around you. Feel the earth beneath your feet, smell the blooming flowers, and let the sun warm your skin.
Sensory Ritual: Create a ritual that involves each of your senses. Light a fragrant candle, taste something sweet, listen to uplifting music, and touch a texture that feels good to your skin. Allow yourself to be fully present in the moment.
Wear the Colors of Spring: Embrace the colors associated with Astera—green, yellow, and pastel shades. Wearing these colors can help you feel more connected to the energy of renewal and growth.

How to Celebrate Your Body:
Dance Like No One’s Watching: Put on your favorite music and dance. Allow your body to move in any way that feels good. Don’t worry about how you look—focus on how you feel.
Movement Meditation: Spend a few minutes each day moving your body in a way that feels natural. This could be stretching, swaying, or simply moving your hips. Allow your body to guide you, and notice how it feels to move without judgment.
Celebrate Your Independence: Like Astera, embrace the power of being a complete and independent being. Celebrate your body not for how it looks, but for how it feels and what it can do.
