You need not attend all four. Come dance 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!
To further enhance your understanding, come to Nordic Story Hour at Ingebretsens!
