Ostara Goddess of the Moon
Ostara is venerated primarily among the Saxons her veneration spreading into England and the Alps her sacred sites including various fortified castles, standing stones like Externsteine, platforms such as the Ostersteine and many Sacred groves.
She was venerated beside Lollus The Green Lord in a Hessian grove and was also venerated alongside the gods Walpurga, Wotan, Frija, Urschel etc in the Harz mountains. Often her veneration including other goddesses like Eostar, an Earth goddess as well as another deity (unknown) in a Matronae like trio symbolized by Three Hares.
Her imagery is that of a Dianic goddess, who dwells in the forest with crescent horns and shining face who in old texts on the Saxon Gods of the Week placed Ostara as a goddess of the Moon who has a male counterpart; one known as Oster.
In some ways her veneration has continued being as one of the many who form the Easter Pantheon of Woodland critters with Hot Cross Buns still baked in her honor!

Motherless by Samuel Luke Fildes
Hush now child. I know the emptiness and pain within yer heart. Today we weep because we miss her so but soon the sun shall rise again and we must learn once more to laugh. So for now let your tears flow like rivers but do nay cry out in your despair for she can hear you and it will cause to her pain and regret in going. That we cannot abide.I love you wee one so weep, feel no shame in your sorrow. Get it all out and we shall remember her together for always.

A Question posed to me: "How do you explain what 'the old ways' are?"
I describe the "old ways" as anything falling in line with what we do naturally. Unfortunately so many of our people are so removed from that notion that the simplest ideas seem puzzling at best.
Is it not true that if I explain something to a child and they understand but an adult calls it "big brain and complex" the issue is not the information nor the presentation, is it not more likely the adult has been so far removed from our natural behavior that the very concepts presented have become completely foreign to them?
