Description
The goddess Eostra or Ostara's name is thought to mean "dawn", Eostre's attendant animal was the Hare and the Celts believed that Eostre changed into a hare on the nights of the full moon.
When we celebrate Easter, we are celebrating the dawning of life - new beginnings, we rejoice at the rebirth of life and the potential in store for us in the year ahead. Festivals of the Goddess Eostra and the Spring Equinox are celebrated on March 21.
The Hare is embedded in ancestral folk myths throughout the world, from the Americas to the Far East, from Africa to Europe. The Hare was at one time considered both male and female. This union of masculine and feminine makes the Hare an excellent symbol for marriage. Indeed, the ancient Greeks made wedding rings with hare designs on them, and their wedding bowl which was used to sup their wedding wine was often glass etched with hares.
The goddess Aphrodite was also always accompanied by a hare as well as cupids and satyrs !
