As I did so, I listened to Loreena McKennitt and recited this incantation while putting energy into the seeds through my hands:

Ostara
Ostara, Maiden of Spring, I call your bright, fresh presence come to me

To grow in health and energy
Guide me to my highest good.
Last nights Full Mistress was beautiful. She spilled forth her bright light over the forest. Tonight, I’m afraid, we may miss her. It started snowing this morning giving us about an inch or two. All day long it’s continued with Sun attempting to burst through. No more accumalation me thinks.
The trees have budded, the mud has come, the birds and squirrels make a racket daily. Spring is soon, Winter just doesn’t want to let go. She will prevail and bring forth life, I have no doubt.
