Today is officially the first day of Spring. Mylitta appears to be a Assyrian equivalent to the Sumerian Ninlil/Sud.
The more you research her and the other early female monastic saints in Ireland, the more you see how radical a break they were.The only story stuff we know about the goddess Brigit casts her as a minor figure, the embarrassed wife of Bres the Beautiful, an extremely ungenerous king; and the mourning mother of their son Ruadan.
a hack …. (2) The shape of the egg suggests a mammalian testicle — thus, it represents the masculine reproductive principle as well as the feminine reproductive principle. I’m not bolstering any religion at all, you idiot.
In fact, eggs gathered in the week ahead of Easter could have been stored or hard boiled in preparation for Easter Sunday morning, when they would have been quite a treat to peasants who had just endured over a month on a diet of bread, vegetables and some fish. In Estonian it's an expression indicating the end of fasting: lihavõtted, "meat/flesh-taking".
Sorry, you have Javascript Disabled! If you're one of our Northern Hemisphere readers, you're celebrating Ostara on March 20, while down below the Equator it's time for Mabon. As I mentioned in my last post, two things we can now be sure the internet will deliver up at Easter are rehashes of the tedious “Jesus never existed” thesis and memes telling us that “Easter is actually pagan!”. These things are all asserted with the internet’s usual breathless assurance and so it all seems perfectly clear that “Easter” was originally this pagan goddess’ spring fertility festival. What we don’t have is any reference to any pagan spring festival or customs involving eggs. 19, 2019 2:33PM ET / … a pseudo-atheist shill for Christian triumphalism [and] delusionally insane.” The Spring Equinox is the day when the sun passes over the celestial equator. Much of the evidence came from the original prudish stoics; the Roman sources that portrayed all bad rulers and foreigners as being unable to control their sexual appetites except even the Romans never mentioned actual pagan sex rites (the word orgy comes from Greek mystery cults but the word had no sexual connotations in the classical world).There's an Akkadian word 'harimtu' that is often translated as 'Sacred Prostitute' but in no ancient text is a harimtu ever paid for sex or associated with any religious function. All Saints’ Day was originally on May 13 (which might actually have had an anti-pagan motif, because that was the day the Pantheon was rededicated as the Church of St. Mary and All Saints, IIRC, and All Saints’ Day came from that dedication feast; and it fell on a pagan Roman holiday day, although it was pretty late so I don’t know if anybody pagan Roman was left).
Male deities similarly steal titles and poetic phrases from each other all the time but scholars are much quicker to stuff every goddess into one 'divine feminine' than they are to argue that the god of wisdom is actually an aspect of the hero deity. And they trace it back to It’s one of the two months, the other during the autumnal equinox.
Once Upon A Scribble - Stickers. Rabbits and eggs were never a symbol of hers. Enkidu's death about halfway through the epic then sets things in motion for the second half. Also, St. Bede was one of the greatest teachers and writers of the early Middle Ages and is considered by many historians to be the single most important scholar of antiquity for the period between the death of Pope Gregory I in 604 and the coronation of Charlemagne in 800…but not according to the writer of this silly blog.So many New Christians denounce history and science yet somehow twist it to support their opinions regarding the myth of Jesus…Oh the irony!What a bizarre comment.
)Tim, you are transforming my life. Most of the comments simply droned on about how the idea was “highly plausible” or some general comments about how “Christians adopted many pagan practices and beliefs”.
Obviously the fact that Christians were having a dispute about when Easter should be celebrated indicates that there was already a celebration of Easter long before Constantine, so the claim that somehow “Easter was changed to represent Jesus” (whatever the hell Those who peddle this stupid New Age “Ishtar = Easter” meme also don’t explain how the word somehow jumped all the way from the Middle East to England, skipping pretty much every single other Christian nation on the way. This is an idea with a long and highly kooky pedigree and is, of course, complete nonsense. As usual, Carrier overstates the case. But it is good to have some well researched information. The closest thing to a pagan goddess that would have similar associations would be Ostre and she was Germanic in nature…and was not widely worshiped. Probably more clear than you, to be frank.
The only thing Eostre seems to have given to Easter is her name. It is not a Christian name.It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. (The idea that all doors were open, including the doors of the otherworld/afterlife, was a consequence of everybody being away from home, watching the court cases and paying their taxes. Again, there is no evidence of any pagan origin here. And while some Christian festivals and ideas have pagan roots, others don’t. Updated Apr.
