Happy Eostre
March 19th, 2008 by Wulf
No, it’s not a misspelling. I’m going to an Easter Luncheon this Sunday, and usually have my boys hide eggs with their cousins the Saturday before Easter. But the thing is . . . I’m not Christian. It’s a marvelous thing to be pagan. I can celebrate lots of the traditional holidays because those holidays are based on old pagan holidays.
I’m posting this a little early though, because the pagan (okay, neopagan) holiday of Ostara is tomorrow. It’s a time of renewal and planting for the harvest. It has a marvelous feel to it, even though where I live it means it’s going to be hotter than hell soon. Anyhow, however you celebrate, go have some fun. Enjoy the warmer weather, get outside, kiss a puppy or whatever.
Much love,
Wulf
