Easter bone broth prep, nothing fancy, just for a few who haven’t had it before

Origin of Oestre: Goddess Of Spring and Renewal✨

The naming of the celebration as “Easter” seems to go back to the name of a pre-Christian goddess in England, “Eostre”, who was celebrated at beginning of spring. The only reference to this goddess comes from the writings of the Venerable Bede, a British monk who lived in the early 8th century.

There are several versions of the name, referred to as theonyms or cognates or linguistic siblings of common origin: “Eastro” (Northumbrian dialect), Ostara (Old German dialect), “Asteron” (Old Saxon dialect), “Austro” (Proto-Germanic dialect) etc. In fact, by the C2nd there were references to this Goddess or Mother or Matronae as “Austriahenae”. Essentially, these various linguistic titles were symbolic of The Egg Of Creation: The well known Easter Egg. Ostara is often seen flying in the air or heavens.

Their month of pagan celebrations and feasts were held in April in Eostre’s honour, but this later was replaced by the Christian month of Paschal that celebrated the resurrection of Jesus.

Scholars are still debating the origin of the Hare or Rabbit associated with the Eggs.

The Egg symbol was associated to the iconography of the Phoenix Egg, so in the 1st Century in medieval Europe it was prohibited to eat eggs during the fast of Lent. Prior to Lent, children would go knocking door-to-door begging to accumulate their stash of eggs prior to fasting.

Whether or not the ancient Chaldeans or Babylonians claim “Ostre” as their own in the recorded names of “Astarte” and “Ishtar”, it is still a sacred time to venerate the death of Winter and honour the coming of Spring.

Whatever this history tells us, let us collectively associate this current Eastertime as a time of Rebirth, of Renewal, of Fecundity and Love.

Mine is the magic around the number 9… multiple a number by 9 and add reduce the result to a single number and you will get 9…

9 x 16 = 144

1 + 4 + 4 = 9

TEST YOUR IMPRESSIONS

“From the very beginning, make it your practice to say to every harsh impression, ‘you are an impression and not at all what you appear to be.’ Next, examine and test it by the rules you possess, the first and greatest of which is this—whether it belongs to the things in our control or not in our control, and if the latter, be prepared to respond, ‘It is nothing to me.’”

—EPICTETUS, ENCHIRIDION, 1.5
