Funnily enough, in german Easter is called "Ostern". I think that's pretty close to Ostara. So, there really might be a connection.

@Kindsey I'm relatively new as well so I'm not sure. I also don't know if the Scandinavian countries have blue jays? If I find out I'll try to let u know tho Edit: according to a couple sites I've looked at, blue jays are associated with Od, god of love and freya's husband. Gray jays (which I didn't know where a thing) are associated with Eir

There's a saying for it "Ne'er cast a clout till May's richt out" basically means don't get rid of your winter clothes until May is over :) This is my first Spring since following this path so I wasn't really sure? I did an offering for Freya, Idun and the Triple Goddess

The connection between Nordic Paganism & Christianity is so big that it feels like their stories were adapted from one another. Just like Odin wanting to feel like what it is to die as a mortal to the apple of immortality of Idunn, the stories connect with each other on another level.

I've often wondered why we celebrate Easter with eggs. It has always been my theory that it started as a Pagan tradition. My thought is that way back in the day, the "hunt" for wild eggs was born from necessity. It was also way to celebrate the Gods of spring as well as feast on the bounty of the land. I can picture the children of the Norse/Germanic tribes as they searched the river banks and woodland thicket for any eggs worthy of eating!

Could seeing a crow regularly (occasionally two) be a sign from Odin? Not sure if its just a coincidence but Norse mythology caught my attention recently and I've been seeing this crow regularly for some time now and had somewhat of a weird experience with it yesterday, also just happened to stumble upon your channel the other day.

Ah Jacob my friend it appears your weather over there is just as unpredictable like a hormonal teenager as ours is here in the UK🤦🏿‍♀️😆 As a wiccan/pagan I've just celebrated my first Ostara two weeks ago understanding it was a sabbat (seasonal phase). I gained a much better appreciation towards the season of change than I ever have done when I used to follow the christian hear-say. By the way that craving is just brilliant. I love do love it when people take something mundane like a wooden post and turn it into art.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

The value of Jacob's content has not been for getting scholarly facts (go to Jackson Crawford's channel for that), but for getting a guide for beginners who, like I was, are overwhelmed with where to start with the day to day practice of paganism. Jacob helped me enormously in starting out. And even though I no longer consider myself a beginner, I still enjoy his content and his enthusiasm.

The last bit with your new shrine was fantastic, I think perhaps we all should take some time and effort to leave behind little shrines everywhere we go, should it feel right in the locations we choose. Maybe more will be nudged towards this path, or for those who are already on it, be pleasantly reminded they aren't alone.

Listening to the part where Freyja was still honored, even after Christianization reminded me of something I heard while I was doing ancestral work. What I was told is that my Swedish ancestors were Christians in the house and honored the old ways in the field. I have no way of proving that but what you said lends credence to it.

One of the things I've found in my books on this subject is that the old Norse word for what Idunn gave to the Aesir was a general word "epli" that does not mean apple. Apples were introduced to Scandinavia in around the 1400s, so well after Christianity had taken over the lives of people there. What "epli" more accurately means is fruit or nut, so it's not likely that she had, in the original mythos, given this kind of fruit to the gods, as we think today. My belief is that Eve had an impact on how we think of Idunn today, so the association with apples almost seems natural to us, especially because they are so prolific.

When I consider that the translators of the bible chose to ignore the hebrew for passover ( pesach) and substitute Easter (the derivative of Ostara), it seems to lend weight to the Goddesses identification with the time of year!

It's the Ravens for Odin, spider for Loki, Hammer for Thor. But is there any typical sign you would say oh that stand for Freya! Maybe a stupid question but as I say I am totally new in paganism and all the stuff with it!

Note about sun worship tacitus did mention Scandinavians (specifically danes) would worship the sun and other forces of nature rather than worshiping personified deities like the germanic people would Tacitus is quite creditable however he probably didn't have a lot of opportunities to Speke to or hear from Scandinavians as they usually stayed in their homeland except the jutes but that was after the Romans were gone He didn't talk much on how they worshiped these gods he mostly talked about their amber but I still thought it was strange that he was suggesting that danes didn't worship personified gods but instead venerated forces such as the sun, moon, lightning and wind Also cool little note he described them as sea raiders with distinct ships now doest that sound familiar
