Below I will leave a myth so that you, woman, can reflect and find this Goddess in you.
Eostre – Goddess of growth
Eostre is a Germanic goddess of fertility, agriculture and spring. Once when this goddess was taking a long time to arrive, a girl found an injured little bird about to freeze to death; desperate, she asked the goddess Eostre for help.
Eostre emerged from a rainbow with her beautiful dress vibrant, like sunlight and melting all the snow, so spring came to bloom the fields; as the little bird was very injured, the goddess turned him into a hare that laid rainbow eggs and taught the girl to observe him as a sign of spring.
In our life we can be the girl who has a wounded part in her, and without knowing how to act and resolve the issue, she asks for help from her inner goddess.
Eostre teaches us to open up to the new and allow us to reframe apparent losses as a process of evolution and growth. If you have been going through a period of stagnation, the time has come to react, it is time to grow, nurture new experiences and take new risks.
