26. Ostereierbaum (Easter egg tree)

Traditions, familial connection, celebration of spring

You mustn't forget to embrace the magick of community care.

Osterierbaum, or the Easter egg tree, is a centuries-old Germanic tradition of decorating tree branches with Easter eggs in celebration of Easter. The tradition is carried down through the years from parent to child, creating many cheerful memories along the way. Each tree is completely different from the next, a reflection of the many hands who have aided in its creation.

The Easter egg tree has emerged to inspire you to rejoice in shared experiences. It reminds you to lean on those who you call family, both the family you’re born to and the one you have chosen for yourself. You may have felt lonely in your challenges, believing perhaps that others would not support you in your endeavors, or perhaps you are too afraid to ask for help.

Please know that there is much help available for you from people who are eager to support you in any way they can. Embrace those who dwell within your personal community and know that the village is ready whenever you call. Whether you require financial assistance, are seeking new opportunities, wish to share a piece of yourself or need a helping hand from your partner, receiving this card is your sign that there is someone who can offer you exactly what you need to make it through.
