.............Eostre.
The Goddess of Spring and Fertility. I always envisage this Goddess with long blond hair, wearing flowery, floaty dresses and having an abundance of bunnies and chicks surrounding her while she ambles along a meadow. She oozes happiness and carefree days, in my mind. I guess this is only natural, given how we feel more carefree and light and airy during the spring.
And as "fluffy" - I hate that terminology - as this description sounds, I do think it describes this Goddess, even trying to put a modern twist on her I can't get away from floaty frocks and young chicks and bunnies. Sometimes we just have to accept light and fluffy/airy appearances for what they are, a natural appearance.
Think not of bunnies, but of Eostre's beast, The Hare. Free running, floating over the grass and Spring flowers with the breeze in her fur and whiskers.
