Day (yellow) and night (purple) now stand equal in the sky, with the sun and moon on each side respectively. In the centre there is a hill with an opening to a tomb. A tree stand on the hill over the tomb. The hill is covered in wildflowers.

Before there can be harmony, however, the combination of light and dark in the sky reminds us that our existence and the world we live in are marked by both light and dark, good and evil., often leading to death. Ostara, we are told is a time of recalling the victory of light over dark, when the Goddess and God went into the underworld. The sacred writings tell us that the divine child, called "the light of the world", went into the world of death to bring about the victory of light.

On the Ostara card a group of women are preparing the body of the Divine Child for burial. The wildflowers form a colourful canopy over a dark underworld where the face of shadowy figure is just visible.

This is the dark lord who personifies evil and reminds us of the serious consequences of evil, even death. We are also called to consider the things that bind us. Why can’t we seem to put actions that hurt others and ourselves entirely behind us? How will that happen?
