Thread: Looking forward to......

    Looking forward to......

    .... the Pagan Festival of Ishtar (know by the Saxons as Eastra). Celebrated since 4,000 BC Ishtar was the goddess of Love and fertility. In Sumerian tradition, she was hanged naked on a stake, and resurrected 3 days later from the underworld. Her symbol (as the goddess of fertility) was a Hare (or Rabbit) and traditionally followers gave painted eggs as presents to celebrate her feast.

    Some of this sounds familiar.

    Unfortunately that's mostly bollocks. There is no link between Ishtar and the Germanic/ Saxon god oestre
