This fun rite is usually done around Oestara/Alban Eilir/Spring Equinox or the Christian celebration of Easter. Children can participate, too. Before boiling the eggs, bless the water by using a wand or athame dipped into the pot and saying:

All who eat thereof are hereby blessed.

Boil white eggs, then remove them from the pot. When the eggs are dry and have cooled, use a white or colorless wax crayon to inscribe sigils on each of them. These symbols can be runes, ogham letters, planetary signs, or simply small drawings of beneficial things and happy representations of good luck—a four-leaf clover, a pentagram, birds, a sun with a smiling face, hearts, cats, a triskelion, flowers, moons, and so forth.

Hide the eggs in your home or yard for participants to find. People can then color their eggs with a standard commercial kit or with natural dyes, such as onion skins for yellow, beets for pink, and grass for green. After each person has colored one or more eggs, interpret the sigils for them using correspondence books.
