Ostara/Eostre is a Saxon Goddess of the spring who's symbols are the hare and eggs. Recently, there has been contention over whether Ostara was an actual, worshipped Goddess, or if she was created by the early Saxon scholar, the Venerable Bede. There is also only one reference of her. As a historian, I am inclined to believe that Ostara actually was worshipped. As a professor of mine once said, a lack of evidence is not enough to draw conclusions. Any conclusions drawn from a lack of evidence is sheer, unsupported conjecture, merely one possibility among many.
