Easter coincides with the renewal of spring—a season symbolising rebirth, transformation, and new beginnings. Spiritually, this period carries powerful energetic shifts, making it an ideal time for rituals that honour renewal, personal growth, and energetic cleansing.
The Energetic Portal of Easter
From a spiritual perspective, the days surrounding Easter often coincide with powerful cosmic alignments and seasonal energy shifts, acting as an energetic portal, where the veil between the physical and spiritual realms is thinner. This makes it a potent period for deep self-reflection, transformation, and setting new intentions for the months ahead.
In 2025, Easter falls during a time of intense celestial activity, including the influence of the Blood Moon the week before, occuring on the night of 13th-14th March. Blood Moons (total lunar eclipses) are thought to heighten emotions, accelerate spiritual awakenings, and mark significant turning points in life. This year’s Easter period, therefore, provides a unique opportunity to release old patterns and embrace rebirth on a profound level.
Eggsamples of Rituals for Easter
1. Rebirth Ceremonies
Some shamanic traditions incorporate symbolic death and rebirth rituals to mirror the renewal of the earth. One example is a guided meditation or journeying practice where individuals visualise shedding old identities and stepping into a new version of themselves. Others may engage in physical acts, such as burying a written intention in the earth to represent rebirth.
2. Fire and Water Rituals
Engaging with elemental forces is common in shamanic practices. Lighting a ritual candle (especially gold, yellow, or white) can symbolise the return of light and clarity, while water rituals—such as bathing in natural bodies of water or preparing herbal baths—cleanse stagnant energy and invite renewal.
3. Intentional Easter Eggs
The egg, a universal symbol of fertility and transformation, has long been used in spiritual traditions. Some practitioners paint eggs with symbols or affirmations and place them on an altar as a manifestation tool for the season ahead. Others write fears or burdens on an egg and then bury it in the earth, symbolising release and renewal.

4. Ritualistic Spring Cleaning and Decluttering
Spring cleaning is a well-known tradition, but when done with intention and ritual, it becomes a powerful form of energy work. In many shamanic and folk traditions, cleaning the home is not just about physical tidiness—it is a way to clear out stagnant energy.
-
Set an intention before you begin, such as “I release all that no longer serves me to make space for new blessings.”
-
Burn herbs like sage, cedar, or rosemary to purify your space as you clean.
-
Declutter with mindfulness—as you remove old or unused items, express gratitude for them and consciously let them go.
-
Place fresh flowers or crystals in the space afterward to invite in fresh energy.
This practice aligns your physical and energetic environment with the theme of renewal that Easter and springtime embody.
‘Limpia’ Egg Cleansing Ritual: A Traditional Spiritual Cleanse
The Limpia egg cleansing ritual is a Mesoamerican shamanic practice used for centuries to remove negative energy, clear spiritual blockages, and restore balance. It is commonly found in Mexican and Indigenous healing traditions, particularly within curanderismo (folk healing) and other forms of Latin American energy work.
The word limpia means “cleanse” in Spanish, and this ritual is still widely practised today by shamans, curanderos (healers), and those seeking spiritual renewal. The egg is believed to act as a sponge, absorbing negative energy, emotional burdens, and unwanted influences from the person being cleansed.
How to Perform a ‘Limpia’ Egg Cleanse
What You’ll Need:
-
A room-temperature egg* (preferably white)
-
A white candle
-
A glass of water
-
A pinch of sea salt
-
Incense or herbs for cleansing (sage, copal, or rosemary)
*If collecting eggs directly from a coop, it’s important to check them first to ensure they do not contain developing chicks. If an egg is fertilised and incubating, please return it to the nest and select another egg.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Prepare Your Space
-
Light your incense or herbs and pass the egg through the smoke to cleanse it of any residual energy.
-
Light the white candle and take a few deep breaths, setting an intention for healing and renewal.
-
Cleansing Your Energy
-
Begin at the top of your head, rolling the egg in slow, counterclockwise circles while moving downward over your body.
-
Pass the egg over your forehead, eyes, throat, heart, stomach, and limbs, paying attention to areas where you feel tension or heaviness.
-
As you do this, visualise the egg drawing out all negativity, blockages, or unwanted energy.
-
Transferring the Energy
-
Interpreting the Results
-
Bubbles or cloudy water: Suggests the egg absorbed heavy or stagnant energy.
-
Strings or spikes in the egg white: Indicates stress, tension, or energetic attachments.
-
Blood spots: Can signify deeper emotional wounds or past trauma being released.
-
Figures or shapes in the yolk: Some believe they reveal messages about challenges, guidance, or spiritual insights.
-
Disposal
-
Add salt to the glass of water to neutralise the absorbed energy.
-
Dispose of the mixture by burying it somewhere far from your home, giving it back to the earth. Do not look back, as this is believed to prevent negativity from returning.
When to Perform a ‘Limpia’?
-
During a full moon or high-energy periods like Easter or the Blood Moon (13th-14th March 2025).
-
After a period of stress, illness, or emotional hardship.
-
When feeling spiritually or energetically blocked.
This powerful yet simple ritual aligns perfectly with Easter’s theme of renewal, offering a way to cleanse and reset your energy for the season ahead.
Final Thoughts
By incorporating shamanic rituals into Easter, we can honour this season’s deeper significance beyond its religious roots. Whether through fire and water ceremonies, egg-based intention setting, ritualistic cleaning, or the ‘Limpia’ egg cleansing, these practices help us align with nature’s cycles, release the past, and welcome new beginnings.
As we step into this energetic portal of transformation, may we embrace the rebirth that this season offers—not just in the world around us, but within ourselves.
With gratitude and blessings,
