Scene is WAITROSE CUSTOMER SERVICES DESK. Behind it is a staff member, whose name we will soon learn is BECKY. She is dealing with a customer, for now out of shot, while talking to her manager on the phone.

BECKY:
Hiya, yeah

2
BECKY:
Yes I have a customer here who wants to complain about the Easter eggs.

3
BECKY [putting hand over receiver while addressing the customer stood at the desk in front of her]:
Sorry what was your name again?

4
[Pull back to show the customer is a very tall, green-skinned, PAGAN GODDESS, festooned with flowers. Stood next to her is her son, a teenager in a hoodie, who looks mortified by his mum.]

PAGAN GODDESS:
Ēostre the Pagan Goddess of Fertility.

5
BECKY
Sorry -
Your name is Easter…?

PAGAN GODDESS:
Ēostre.

6
VICKY:
Your name is Easter and you want to complain about the Easter eggs.

7
PAGAN GODDESS:
Sorry love, what’s your name?

BECKY:
Becky

PAGAN GODDESS:
Well, Vicky -

8
PAGAN GODDESS:
If it was you who’d mated with the solar god of the Equinox to give birth to *Spring itself* -

TEENAGE BOY:
Muuum…

PAGAN GODDESS:
- hang on, Spring -

9
PAGAN GODDESS:
….only to have all your efforts totally forgotten by history, you’d have a complaint too!

10
PAGAN GODDESS:
Aisle four is full of products, with no hint of the true meaning of my festival!

11
BECKY:
You mean… Jesus…?

PAGAN GODDESS:
I mean shagging, Vicky.

12
PAGAN GODDESS:
Is it too much to see just a little bit of pre-Christian sex in Aisle 4?

TEENAGE BOY:
MUUUUM

Ja, würde zustimmen. Auch wenn es eine angelsächsische #Eostre gegeben haben mag, halte ich eine germanische #Ostera eher für konstruiert. Die Orientierung zur aufgehenden Sonne und die Ausrichtung der Kirchen gen Jerusalem dürfte m.E. die Bezeichnung von #Ostern ausreichend erklären. Schade, dass dabei aber die Rückbindung an #Pessach schwächer wurde, die in den romanischen Sprachen stärker erhalten blieb. 🤔✝️🕎🇪🇺🇮🇱📚

Ritual fire to welcome the Spring Equinox, which arrived at 5:01 Eastern Time this morning. This afternoon, I ceremonially burned the Yule wreath I made on this past Winter Solstice, December 21, 2024, as well as the greens-festooned star that decorated my gate during the winter holy days.

Our almond tree in blossom at the Spring Equinox. Sometimes we get the almonds before the squirrels do!

A tree with thin branches covered in pink blossom against a clear blue sky.

Happy #SpringEquinox #Ostara (#AutumnEquinox in the Southern Hemipshere) everyone!

Now marks the time when the sun passes over the celestial equator in the Northern Hemisphere.

Many modern pagan traditions celebrate the season’s change from dark winter to brightening #spring. The roots of this equinox celebration are found in ancient pagan holidays: #Eostre and #Liberalia.

It's less than two weeks until the Spring Equinox (Ostara), the date when night and day are of equal length. It's wonderful to see everything gearing up for the year: we're watching birds chase one another in courtship (and territorial disagreements!), green shoots beginning to appear on shrubs and trees, and early Spring flowers blooming!

So here are just a few of our favourite cards of the season :) Art by Samantha Symonds, Rachel Blackwell, Sam Cannon and Amanda Clark.

Trees reach upwards either side of a narrow winding path in woodland, the ground beneath them covered in bluebells. The path ends in the mid-distance, where a hare is sat. Beyond the hare, the trees open out to show hills in the distance. Colours are greens, blues and browns.

A white hare runs at full speed across the design, front legs under belly and back legs under head, in front of a steep grassy hill. Large yellow flowers dominate the design at the front, and birds (Swifts) fly all around. A pale yellow sun shines overhead.

Long grass and flower stems in the foreground partially obscure the view beyond, where a hare leaps across a sunlit field in front of a tall grassy hill with a pale sun rising behind against a mottled blue sky. Two hares sit in the long grass, and leafy branches frame the view from above.

A mandala-style painting dominated by a sun in the centre which is half white, half orange. The sun has eyes, nose and mouth, and is surrounded by spring flowers including daffodils, crocuses, forget-me-nots, dandelions and cowslips. A blue tit sits on a branch to the left, while a hawk flies on the right. Colours are yellows, greens and blues on a white background.

FREE and open to all, why not join us and bring the sun with you?

Today next door had an egg hunt in our front garden but one of the eggs has not been found. I expect a bumper crop for next year.

#Eostre

Happy Eostre everyone. Thank goodness for the Pagans so that we can have lovely eggs delivered by a rabbit and a nice slice of simnel cake. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2010/apr/03/easter-pagan-symbolism #eostre #Pagan #paganism

2/3 Spring has been celebrated across cultures for thousands of years as a time of #renewal & #rebirth - with symbols like bunnies & eggs representing fertility 🐣🪺Some historians argue that the word “Easter” is derived from a pagan springtime goddess #Ēostre (who is also associated with hares & fertility, and possibly where the #EasterBunny story comes from 🐰)

Thinking about trying a broth of red cabbage and blueberries for the next batch.
