What is the Origin of Ostara?

 

The origin of Ostara, a festival marking the spring equinox, is rooted in Germanic traditions and mythology. Ostara derives its name from Eostre (or Ostara), a goddess associated with spring and possibly dawn, as mentioned by the Venerable Bede, an 8th-century English monk. However, concrete historical evidence for the widespread worship of Eostre is limited, with Bede’s account being one of the few references.

 

Eostre is believed to have been part of the Old High German and Anglo-Saxon pagan traditions, and her name is linguistically connected to the concept of the east and dawn, suggesting a deity symbolizing new beginnings and the awakening of nature. The month corresponding to April in Old English, “Eosturmonath,” was named after her, indicating a time for festivals and celebrations in her honor.

 

Symbols

 

Eggs: Symbolize fertility, new life, and the potential for growth.

Hares and rabbits: Represent fertility, abundance, and the energy of spring.

Flowers: Symbolize the blossoming of nature and the earth’s awakening.

 

Pagan Origins and Mythical Tales

 

The festival of Ostara, linked with the Germanic goddess Eostre, is rooted in ancient pagan traditions celebrating spring and fertility. The University of Florida’s Center for Children’s Literature recounts a myth where Eostre transforms a dying bird into a hare that brings rainbow-colored eggs each year. This tale, along with the writings of the 8th-century monk Bede, situates Ostara in a rich pagan heritage, though precise dating before the 1st century AD remains subject to scholarly debate.

 

Christian Adaptation and Syncretism (1st Century AD onwards)

 

As Christianity wove its way through history, Easter popped up to celebrate Jesus Christ’s big comeback, and guess what? It decided to throw in some classic pagan flair. We’re talking eggs and rabbits, folks—those timeless icons of fertility, fresh starts, and spring fever. Now, enter Ostara, sporting the same spring symbols but without the ancient creds. This mash-up shows how, when it comes to celebrating spring, everyone loves a good symbol of renewal. It’s like Easter raided the pagan symbol closet, and Ostara just couldn’t resist following suit.

Once there was 24 hour coverage of bakers

To save bread space coordination was done on /comms/

Then the Dark Times

OSS and friends took and ran with the "Baker's Union" shit to usurp and take over

Bakers were harassed to the point where some just had to walk away

Other permabanned because they weren't DOARfags (the ones that thought all anons were gullible and stupid)

Arrogance led to sloppiness and QR was taken back away from them

Some bakers never returned

Their arrogance led to sloppiness and QR was taken back
