High Cross Quarter - The Lesser Sabbat of OestaraOestara (Cross Quarter)
Eostara (os-tar'a) - Categorised as a Cross Quarter Sabbat Wiccan Mythology: Usually the sexual union of the God and Goddess The earth heals after winter and begins to blossom. Darkness is banished and subdued by light... until Litha days will be longer than the nights. Yesteryear in the time of our ancestors Eostara was an occassion of sowing and setting seed.
Eostara is a time for embarking and setting into operation visions and ideas, sowing the seed of plans that may not produce fruit until later in a time of another sabbat. The name Eostara is erroneous. It's named after goddess Eostre, but her sabbat strictly speaking wasn't associated with the equinox. In fact, there may never really have ever been a sabbat called Eostara at all. The union of Goddess and God varies according to regional tradition. A few date it as early as Imbolc. Some attribute it to Eostara, while others to Beltaine. Eostara has the benefit of being nine months prior to Yule, when the Goddess actually produces child. |
