Päivätär ('Dayess'), daughter of the Sun, is a Sun Goddess or luonnotar ('naturess'; a bit like a Greek nymph). Together with Kuutar ('Mooness') she owns the silver of the Sun and the gold of the Moon. From these they spin gold and silver yarn and weave clothes.

They are mentioned in the Kalevala: "I heard Kuutar weaving" and "give, Kuutar, of thine gold, Päivätär, of thine silver". The Maidens of Pohjola ('Northland') were particularly interested in their precious clothes and jewelry.

Art: detail of R. W. Ekman's painting Väinämöisen soitto (1866) depicting Päivätär and Kuutar sitting on a rainbow, holding weaving implements.

The Germanic Goddess Ostara (Old English: Ēostre; Old High German: *Ôstara) is attested by Bede as the Goddess honoured by Germanic peoples in Ēosturmōnaþ (OHG: Ôstarmânoth), corresponding to the month of April. Her feature as a dawn Goddess, or a deity of rebirth, is confirmed by the traceable Proto-Indo-European root *h₂ews- (lit. "to shine"), which begets the Proto-Goddess *haéusōs ("Goddess of Dawn"). The association with the Spring Equinox is clear, as it represents the rebirth of the sun and the cyclical nature of reality assumed by the Indo-Europeans.
