Happy Ostara
Festival of Ostara (Eostre), the Spring Goddess. This is a festival of renewal, rejoicing and fertility, although for most of the Northern People, the forces of Winter are still at full sway. In ancient times, the gift of colored eggs to one's friends and loved ones was a way of wishing them well for the coming season; a magical ritual of prosperity and fecundity. The rabbit was the symbol of this festival as well because of it's re-emergence during this season, and for its reproductive ability. These two rituals have survived into the modern holiday of Easter (which derives its name from Eostre) as Easter eggs and the Easter bunny. Like most ancient heathen rituals, they are relegated into the world of children; held for naught among adults; but the race memory lingers on.

RustyhookerHappy eggs brothers and sisters
Happy Ostara brother Pale! Fascinating and informative history! Wishing you and all your loved ones a most memorable holiday!
Thanks brother, it truly is fascinating history. It is absolutely mind blowing to me that a religion based out of the middle east somehow took over the pagan religions of Europe like it did.
Out of all the religions, it's the only one that believed conversion by the sword. It's evolved into something different today, but the only reason there are Caucasian and black Christians today is because of the blood that was shed and the monetary gains behind it.
I truthfully wouldn't mind living as well as some selling the word today though.
Corruption just like anything else ,$$ ,power , we can thank king olaf tryggvason , for that. Starting with constantine , when he seen a vision of a cross before battle
Yes, lets not forget the masses were convinced with blood more than any other way.
Yes
