Aphrodite, or "foam-born," was the Greek goddess
that Romans called Venus, and her Old Norse (Teutonic) form was Eostre, the
Goddess of Dawn; this season (Eostremonath, the old Anglo-Saxon names for
April)) being dedicated to that goddess in pagan, Anglo-Saxon days. Why was the
Goddess of Dawn called Eastre? Because the dawn of day is in the
East—Morgenland—as the musical, mystical Germans call it—morningland.. Eostre
is related to the word “East”, the direction in which the sun rises. The
Proto-Indo-European goddess mentioned, Hausos, “the Shining One”. Eostre is in
turn derived from Ausos, the Proto-Indo-European Goddess of the dawn,
reconstructed from various other Goddesses such as Aurora, Eos etc.
Easter is not celebrated the week after Passover. It is
celebrated every year on the first Sunday after the FIRST FULL MOON after the
VERNAL EQUINOX (first day of Spring).
This ancient goddess, however, predates even her Cypriot and
Greek forms. In Sumer she was known as Inanna, in Babylon and Assyria Ishtar,
the Egyptians called her Hathor, Quaddesha and Aset, to the Phoenicians she was
Astarte, to the Hebrews Ashtoreth and Ashera, and to the Philistines Atergatis.
Baldr’s mother Frigg was also identified with Venus, and actually Ostara (the
lunar holiday in honor of the spring goddess) was celebrated as the earthy
festival of the Norse goddess Freya (Freyja), the Goddess identified with
fertility, love and new beginnings, usually identified with the pan-Germanic
goddess Frigg, of whose veneration it is believed that the Germanic folkloric
figure Frau Holda or Frau Holle represents a survival. And what about the
similar story in Persephone's rising? Life, the budding tree, the sprouting seed, the young maiden coming with arms wide open from the green healing womb (imbolc, 'in the belly') of mother earth where she has been wrapped, and to where she will return.

la tierra es muy triste. Me encanta estar conectada, y buscar por las estrellas
y perderme...

The Medial Woman…is a representation of the strong-sighted
and deep-hearted self who lives simultaneously in the world of light (our
conventional, daytime domain) and the world of dark (the hidden realm of
potential, the depths of the Soul and its making of things to bear, balance,
unleash in goodness in the topside world). The medial woman in mythos since
time out of mind remains rooted in both worlds, and listening to her ways and
means in stories, we can hear, see, and feel the guidance this vital and
soulful sense grants: “to live so strong, so wide, and so very deeply…as we
promised to do before we ever came to earth.” (From Walking in Two Worlds: The
Archetype of the Medial Woman. A SoundsTrue Audio Program by Clarissa Pinkola
Estes)
