Rabbits, Hares, Eggs, RA, Ishtar and the Golden Goose

Yep! Hot mess right there!

And so it is and all related! Easter is adopted from a similar PAGAN holiday.

The mascot of Easter: THE WHITE RABBIT

This dig is YUGE. I leave this for those interested:

Some of the spells from the Book of the Dead show just how strong the connections were between the symbols and the gods: “I have arisen from the Egg which is in the secret land. . . . I am Osiris” (Spell 22). “I seek out that great place which is in Wenu, I have guarded the Egg of the Great Cackler. If I be strong, it will be strong; if I live, it will live; if I breathe the air, it will breathe the air (Spell 56).”

The city of Hermopolis was near an ancient religious center known as Wenu (or Wenut), devoted to worship of the hare god Unnu (Weni, Wen-nefer, “the Springer-up”) and his consort, a hare goddess. Worship of this hare god, the animal form of the creator god Ra, involved resurrection and the rising of the sun. Both rebirth and the rising sun related to the god Ra, who according to legend was born of a golden egg laid by a celestial goose (“the Great Cackler”). According to the Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, “the hare was an insignia of Re’s rising as the sun and also of the resurrective powers of Osiris.”
