I think that sums it up! What do you think Horn Dog?

I celebrated Spring fertility rites yesterday. While da yoots were out of the house, my unofficial girlfriend came by and... .

We have almost no evidence about what the Norse actually did for Summer Finding as a religious festival. However, one can presume that the return of growing things, planting, fertility, Freya (Goddess of love, sex, and women's magick), and perhaps Sunna the sun Goddess may have been involved. Though planting may have been delayed (if done at all) in the far northern provinces of Scandinavia. Landwights (or spirits of the land) may have also been honored at this time.

I, too am a student of religion. I used to be able to read classical Hebrew, and some Aramaic. I am not as learned as you obviously are, but I enjoy researching things. Last year I read all the so-called gnostic gospels. They give us a glimpse of early Christianity. Of course, they are soundly condemned by some orthodox Christians. I do not read Coptic, so I relied mostly on the translations by Jean-Yves LeLoup, an Orthodox priest himself. His commentary was enlightening. The discoveries and translations of the Nag Hammadi texts have been an eye opening experience for me.

Hail Ostara, indeed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
