So it’s no secret that I’m not Christian and practice the ‘old ways’; It’s also no secret that all Christians celebrate Germanic pagan holidays they co-opted to convert and otherwise unbeatable foe despite the practice being strictly prohibited in the Bible***(see below).
Enjoy hell!
Origins of the name “Easter”:
The name “Easter” originated with the names of an ancient Goddess and God. The Venerable Bede, (672-735 CE.) a Christian scholar, first asserted in his book De Ratione Temporum that Easter was named after Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). She was the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Similarly, the “Teutonic dawn goddess of fertility [was] known variously as Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos.” 1 Her name was derived from the ancient word for spring: “eastre.” Similar Goddesses were known by other names in ancient cultures around the Mediterranean, and were celebrated in the springtime. Some were:
 |
Aphrodite from ancient Cyprus |
|
Ashtoreth from ancient Israel |
|
Astarté from ancient Greece |
|
Demeter from Mycenae |
|
Hathor from ancient Egypt |
|
Ishtar from Assyria |
|
Kali, from India |
|
Ostara a Norse Goddess of fertility. |
*“Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
“Thus saith the Lord, ŒLearn NOT the way of the heathen, and be NOT dismayed at the signs of heaven (the queen of heaven, Isis, worshiped by the heathen), for the heathen are dismayed at them.
“For the customs of the people are futile: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
“They decorate it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.”
Sound like a December holiday you celebrate every now than then? Once again, enjoy hell heathens!
