Ep. 028 - The Easter-Ostara Debacle - a podcast by Bree NicGarran

IT’S FINALLY HERE – the long-await Easter Rant! If you’ve been  following me on tumblr, you may already know how salty I get about  internet posts claiming Ostara and Easter are the same holiday…and you  may know that I’ve gotten into literal fights over the topic. So once  and for all, I’m laying it all out to explore the origins of both Easter  and Ostara and to finally answer the age-old question: which came first  – the bunny or the egg?

Special thanks to will-o-the-witch for reviewing my material to make sure my gentile ass was actin’ right  and for correcting me on several very important points. Thank you for  taking the time and for continuing to share your knowledge and insights  with the community!
