You Are Invited to:
Spring Equinox in the Northlands
"Ostara Celebration!" - A Spring Equinox Celebration in Nordic style that is intergenerational, gender neutral, and chemical free.
Come listen to the adventures of the Germanic land goddess who lends her name to Easter - Ostara! As Kjerringa med Staven in Norway and Påsk-kärring in Sweden, the Easter witch insures we all have our chimney's swept out and our houses good and clean. Chat with rabbits and dance with the light elves as they return with Sunna - the goddess who drives the sun across the sky!
