Alright it was close, but it looks like Eostre won the sneak peek for the God of the day book. Each God of the 365 that will be in the book will be about 1-3 paragraphs long in their post. With the goal of showing the sheer breadth of European mythology, as well as introducing many of the lesser known deities and their lore, which is harder to find but oh so worth it. I hope you enjoy and the book should be out before the end of the year.-TLK
Ēastre
Ēastre “The Goddess of Easter” “Mother of Earth” is a West Germanic Saxon Goddess, from whom the modern holiday of Easter derives it's name. She is most well known both from the Holiday that bears her name and Saint Bede's The Reckoning of Time in which he names the Lunar Month that roughly corresponds to April as “Eosturmonath” when she is honored with feasts. Ēastre also has numerous holy sites often called “Easter Stones” most notably Externsteine in the Teutoburg Forest. Which is used as a holy site for the Summer Solstice, and is the origin of the pagan symbol for Irminsul, named for the deity Irmin. She is often conflated with fellow Saxon goddess Ostara, a sylvan moon goddess that was equated to Diana by the clergy. Along with the above, several stories of folklore feature Ēastre, and she is also mentioned in a Saxon Field Blessing as “Mother Earth”. She is often depicted with storks, swallows, eggs and hares; all of which are symbols of new life and fertility.
The folktales involving Ēastre or Ostara often have to do with the origin of the Easter Hare. With the hare often starting out as a sacred bird that pulled Ēastre's chariot, after it dies in the winter Ēastre brings it back as a hare so it will survive the winter now that it has a warm fur coat. Another tale this time from England features Ēastre as a guest of the animals, each animal gives the goddess gifts, but the poor hare had only an egg to give, so he decorated it as well as he could and went to the party. When the hare gave it to Ēastre, he was embarrassed at the meager nature of his gift. In a surprise to all in attendance the hare's egg became her favorite, for while the other gifts had been luxurious the Hare had given her all that he had. To show her appreciation Ēastre named the hare her sacred animal. Others say that the Hare was the lover of Ēastre and when he betrayed her she cast him up into the sky as a constellation. The Easter Hare himself though functions as his own figure in the folklore, existing as a magical faerie that lays eggs, and has a Mrs. Easter Hare, which may herself be a remnant of the goddess Ēastre.
Ēastre is often thought of as a Dawn goddess, though there is little evidence for this, and she seems to be more a goddess of fertility of the land especially animals, including humans. This may tie into the role of storks as the bringers of babies in the folklore. As the stork is a sacred animal to Ēastre, a trait she shares in common with Holle. She also likely has something to do with the Summer season as her holiday and sacred sites tend to feature references to the beginning and high points of Summer's half of the year, as in the time of Ēastre's myth the year was divided into Winter and Not Winter, so her function as a spring goddess is a modern interpretation of such a role. Most of the modern customs involving Easter in West Germanic countries can find their origins in the mythology of
Ēastre and similar deities. She may be part of a trio of Mother goddesses known as the Austriahena Matronae, she is also likely tied into the symbol of the Three Hares Motif, both the Matronae and Motif correspond to Ēastre's range. Tying further into the summer solstice, Ēastre is considered one of the origins of the Sleeping Beauty Legend. The famous tale descends from older folklore including the folktale “Sun, Moon, and Talia” where a thinly veiled Earth goddess gives birth to the Sun and the Moon. She is also likely one of the figures who are known as the May Queen in English folk customs, though she is hidden beneath the Roman goddess Flora. During Eastertide “Hot Cross Buns” are baked in her honor tying into an old Saxon Pagan custom of baking similar cakes. Ēastre, while obscure in legend is well known across many aspects of modern culture, from popular holidays to famous fairy tales, Ēastre remains waking as the sun rises in the East; beautiful, radiant, and full of life, she continues forth in her own personal revival.

Desired God of the Abyss, by Varkaros
5 track album
Joan of Arc is nowadays considered a Saint and a Holy Maiden. It can be easy to forget she was burned as a witch and spent centuries afterwards framed as a horrendous and demonic witch by the clergy. This was due to her involvement in the "Witch Cults" she even met "god" at a Faerie Tree, and was likely using the names of saints to cover up who she really talking too, whether fae, gods, or fellow "pagans". More than likely she wasn't even fully aware of her nature as a Pagan, as many many people would continue calling themselves Christian while doing nothing of the sort, From Spain and France to Russia. Where some "Christians" have never even heard of Jesus. Joan was seen as a hero or even embodiment of the deity, effectively functioning as the godhead. The fact that she "dressed in man's clothes" especially her unwillingness to stop indicated to the Church and modern researchers her membership in a Diana-Style cult of a deity. Joan is not the only "saint" put over a folk hero with more pagan origins.-TLK
We usually try to avoid politics and current events, but sometimes you cannot. We are for our people and this is not something we can stay quiet on. German cops and American cops how similar.

This rooftop-ornament depicts swans but it is called an 'owl-board'. Sounds confusing, right🤔? Originally owlboards had an hole for owls to go in and out. In the Netherlands you can find owlboards in the north (like Frisia) and the east (Saxon part of the country) and in Germany in the northwest (also Frisian and Saxon lands). Recently i noticed brandnew houses that had owlboards...pretty nice👍🏻🙂! (picture wikipedia: Arch)
