Eostre walks where blossoms bloom,
In dawn’s soft light she lifts the gloom.
Not cross, but hare and egg she brings,
Of springtime birth and sacred things.
Forget not roots in pagan cheer,
Eostre reigns this time of year.

Many Fyrnsidere worship Hell or Hel as the goddess who looks over the realm of the dead, which is also known as Hell. Hell appears in at least one example of Old English literature showing she is not a Norse-only goddess.

Blessed Ēostre is our goddess of the dawn and new life. Next month, we will celebrate Her day as the days finally become longer. Her name is still used throughout the world by Christians instead of Pascha, often without even knowing it - a bit like the days of the week!
