Ēostre Festival

Billions of PEOPLE celebrated the Festival of Easter on Sunday. The celebration, by masses of Christians of the faith, as well as other participating paganites, wiccas and nature worshipers celebrating the feast of the Goddess Venus and others who just like to get down for a party.

CHECK IT. Ēostre or Ostara, is a goddess in Germanic antiquity, who, by way of the Germanic month bearing her name, is the namesake of the festival of Easter.

By way of linguistic reconstruction, the origin stems from the earlier Proto-Germanic goddess Austrō. As the Germanic languages descend from Proto-Indo-European, linguists have traced the name to a Proto-Indo-European goddess of the dawn, H₂ewsṓs, from which descends the Germanic goddess Ēostre or Ostara.*

The name H₂ewsṓs is derived from a root h₂wes, meaning “to shine”, or “the shining one”.

Shining Light Goddess Of Love

From the root word, h₂ewsṓs, a number of deities of the dawn goddess can be reconstructed, including wenos, from the Sanskrit vanas, meaning “loveliness; desire”,  the Norse Vanir and the Latin Venus.

Transits of Venus

In Latin, from which the English word is derived, Lucifer (as a noun) means “light-bearer” (from the words lucem ferre). It was the name given to the Morning Star, i.e. the planet Venus when seen at dawn.

Easter and Displacement of Accent

Eosturmonath has become “Paschal month“, from the celebration which was once after the goddess Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month.

Only the name of the celebration in the west retains its roots, now renamed as Easter, as the conquered pagan peoples traditions were absorbed into the dominant Levantine culture the celebrations were combined. The feast of Eostre the Goddess of the Dawn and shining light, replaced by the “shining light of Jesus”, with a promise of everlasting life and light of goodness. With the bringer of Light as Venus vilified in the demonization of the Pentagram, which is no longer seen as a beautiful symbol of math from nature, created by the transits of Venus.

Now the male figure of the Levant Christ replacing the Goddess of the East.

Happy Easter

Easter is the Christian feast and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion as described in the New Testament.

Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts, in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars. Instead, the date for Easter is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere’s vernal equinox. Ecclesiastically, the equinox is stated to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the “Full Moon” is not necessarily the astronomically correct date.

In Western Christianity, using the Gregorian calendar, Easter falls on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April, inclusively.

Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on having Easter following the feast of Passover, since the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ took place after he entered Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. In the Western Christian Church, Easter sometimes precedes Passover by weeks.

The Cycle of Venus
Check it. “A Venus Transit occurs when we can see Venus passing directly in front of the Sun. This is similar to when the Moon passes in front of the Sun on a solar eclipse. Unlike the Moon, which covers most of the Sun, Venus appears as a small dot crossing the face of the Sun. A transit (sometime called a passage) can only occur with the inner planets–Mercury and Venus–because they are the only two that can lie between the Earth and Sun during their orbits.”
