March 21 - Vernal Equinox (Spring) -- Eostar (Eostre Ostara ) Day and
night are equal as Spring begins to enliven the environment with new
growth and more newborn animals.
Many people feel "reborn" after the long nights and coldness of
winter. The Germanic Goddess Ostara (Goddess of the Dawn), or for some
the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre after whom Easter is named, is the deity
of this holiday,. The egg and the bunny are pagan imagery of fertility,
as are flowers. The goddess awakened from her deep winter slumbers and
returned from the underworld, now wears the aspect of the Maiden of
Spring. this is the energy of wind, dawn and new beginnings.
