I was now occasions a mistake in the Easter newsletter brought to attention: Astarte is no germanischer name of a goddess. This name comes from the Middle East. Here I give back an email I received by Bernd:
"Astarte (Hebrew Aschtoret, Greek Astarte) was the great goddess and fertility goddess of west semitischer peoples." The people of Israel violated the first bid with Astarte worship. 1. Samuel Cape 12 verse 10 is: "because shouted to the Lord, saying: we have sinned; because we have left the Lord and served the Baalen and load types." King Salomo temporarily encouraged the worship of Astarte. 1. Kings Cape.11, Verse 5.
I assume that you do not Astarte, but the Germanic goddess Ostara.
Ostara is the name of a Germanic goddess of spring inferred by Jacob Grimm.Source Grimm referred to the Anglo-Saxon monk and church historian Bede, which explained the origin of the word "Easter" (Easter) with a previous Germanic goddess named "Eostrae".(De_temporum_ratione,_Kap_15). "
Thank also the many others who have alerted me to
