Lost and Found

Today a peaceful moment unfolded when a friend said, 

"NOT lost, just, your course has changed and along the  way you shed things, items, people.  

And yes Krista, you will find newness.  

Opportunity is here, now- just like a snake when it sheds its skin, new skin appears..... 

The snake does not fret that new skin will never come or that it might not find its skin- 

it's there the whole time... 

And she  finished by saying- breath and ALLOW!"

I overheard someone talking and put together what they were saying in a way that made sense to me.  I fabricated, elaborated and assumed what the subject of their chatter was.  I chose to react to their words, made up the story further to myself and found I was almost panting and frantic with wanting to ramify and quell their words.  I sat, in anger, despair and grief.  It was brought to my attention I was staring and looked angry and I boasted  that certainly I was feeling this emotion.  I soon learned I assumed in a way that was not serving me and   that the people were actually speaking in a compassionate and loving manner.  SO.............. then I sat in guilt, sadness and sought forgiveness.  It took minutes to grip the complete forgiveness place.  Thank you friends who watched me freak, realize, cry, laugh and freak some more.  Thank you people who were talking for allowing me the opportunity to mind my own business.  Thank you self for this awesome, fun time...... Love Life

Goddess Ostara

Old High German - Goddess Ostara

Symbols - Hare, Egg, Feather

Aspects - Renewal, New Beginnings, Rebirth

Old English - Eostre

New Age Christianity/Jewish  - Easter/Passover

Long ago, the Germanic goddess, Ostara, was honored in the month of April each year with festivals honoring re-birth and renewal. Today we recognize the festival as "Easter". The name Easter evolved from the Goddess's name, Ostara, which means "movement towards the rising sun" or "East". Ostara is the living symbol for air and the life force of spring. East is representative of the element of air and our mental powers. Air is about new beginnings and allowing your spirit to soar. Ostara is still one of the most powerful Goddesses today. So much so that she has made herself right at home within Christianity and modern medicine, and egg decorating is still a fine art in Germany!

Ostara is Goddess of joy, new beginnings and fertility. That is where Easter Eggs and  Bunnies (rabbits/hares) come in. Eggs are a symbol for fertility and the hare(Ostara's power animal) has a rather well known propensity for reproducing. Ostara presides over  personal renewal and fertility gain.
