There are many, many stories surrounding the origins of the Easter Bunny and the giving of eggs. All tell similar stories in a different way. This was my favourite as a child, and now it's my daughter's. A long time ago, there was a Goddess called Eostre. Now, the Goddess Eostre loved children and, in return, they absolutely adored her. Everywhere she roamed, she was always surrounded by them. She loved to see their vibrant, smiling, animated faces as she entertained them with stories, songs and best of all ... her magic!
Crystal Carol's Crystal Carol's Well, we made it to the Faery Festival ... and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. That is to say, Little Miss and I did, it's not quite the better half's cup of tea, but he faced the day with a smile, and helped with some of the photography. Crystal Carol's

In addition to the many versions surrounding our own celebrations of Ostara, I am reminded of my favourite childhood story of how the seasons came to be. I am of course, talking about the love story that surrounds Demeter (The doting mother) Persephone (the beautiful and loving daughter) and Hades (the original Bad Boy!)
