In Germany, their name for the Elder Tree ("Holunder") is derived from the Goddess Holda (sometimes "Frau Holda"), who is, among other things, the patroness of mankind & flora. The plant was also sacred for the Celtic peoples, for whom it was the thirteenth and final tree of the year (a month named "Ruish" by the Celts) — appropriately symbolising death and rebirth.

Most Indo-Europeans believed the Elder Tree connected the Underworld and earthly plane.

I'm currently finishing up the final few chapters for my book on the Spring Goddess and I am super excited to share it with you all soon! I just wrote probably the most difficult chapter discussing the horrific Christian atrocities against our folk's fertility and veneration of our dawn bringers. I'm not even sure if I want to include it in the finished draft just because it deviates from the more positive topics passionately discussed throughout the rest of the book. But I will not sit idly on the sidelines and let the church try and steal Eastre and her native pagan holiday for themselves, without saying something about it. The Church has tried to turn Yahoshua into our native dawn goddess as part of their conversion agenda to not only mind-control, but also soul-control the masses. But more and more of us are getting wise to their act and won't tolerate it anymore! Easter is OUR holiday! Hail fair Ostara of the dawn!🌄

Country/village life is heaven on earth. Actually, that is the real heaven. It’s here on earth, and it always has been, and not in some abstract, outside realm. It’s just that human masses were manipulated to turn our beautiful green goddess earth into hellish conditions by destroying the old ways, accepting anti-ethno/ anti-nature ideology (monotheism), separating from mother nature, creating artificial environments we call urban cities, polluting and killing everything around us.

The Christian way teaches of a "fallen world" and focuses on daydreaming of a far off afterlife. The native heathen way loves life and the natural world and believe in protecting it. 🌳
