Easter has come to represent the wider essence of springtime, fertility happiness and rebirth. However Christianity alone does not alone hold the ace cards when it come to resurrection. The Sumerian goddess Innana was hung naked on a stake rising to ascend from the underworld. And what about a good pal of mine called horus who had a proper dodgy eye who went on to became the symbol for life and rebirth. My wife and I are practicing pagans however we would very much like to take this opportunity to wish our Christian counterparts good vibes at this special time. A lot of traditions have been carried over such as The Eoster Bunnie descended from the pagan festival of Eoster the great northern goddess whose symbol was a rabbit or hare.
As many of you are aware our sun has already made it's journey north across the celestial equator signalling in the spring equinox and with it new beginnings. A good scholar once said that the fact day and night are equal on the day of the equinox represents our own need for balance and I cannot really argue with that. From the early days, Eoster marked the time for us to wear new clothes, new shoey's and deep clean the home by sweeping out winter’s dust and tending to our pasture and garden. A good harvest is wished to all Moon people regardless of denomination and together we shall overcome the trials and tribulations currently laid before us by moving on to pastures new and better times ahead.
in the woods there grew a tree
A fine, fine tree was he
On that tree there was a limb
And on that limb there was a branch
On that branch there was a nest
And in that nest there was an egg
In that egg there was a bird
And from that bird a feather came
Of that feather was a bed
On that bed there was a girl
And on that girl there was a man
From that man there was a seed
And from that seed there was a boy
From that boy there was a man
And for that man there was a grave
From that grave there grew a tree
In Sumerisle, Sumerisle, Sumerisle, Sumerisle, Sumerisle
On that tree there was a limb
And on that limb there was a branch
On that branch there was a nest
And in that nest there was an egg
In that egg there was a bird
And from that bird a feather came
Of that feather was a bed
