But the legend of the Easter rabbit is one of the oldest in mythology, and is mentioned in the early folk lore of South Germany.

It doesn’t prove whether they did in fact worship any such goddess. Thank you for the excellent article and historical research.

More developed stories have since emerged connecting Eostre/Ostara and the hare, one of which was the subject of Holly B.’s question: Info. Ostara was a human woman who the Hare King fell in love with during the equinox. As a practicing neo-pagan I often come across wild claims concerning the origins of stories, names, customs and practices. One popular story you might have seen recently involves the origin of the Easter Bunny. So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergals hare zer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes; Joel 3:10 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Beat your plows hare s into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. Quite early, the story began to be prefaced by statements about how very ancient it was. Eostre’s legacy lives on Ostara decided to leave, but the bird stayed behind to be with the Hare King. The 1896 article in Popular Science Monthly, and the newspaper account from 1922, both use the word “quadruped,” first used in the very first English-language version from Folk-Lore in 1883, itself a translation of the German “vierfüssiges Tier” from Oberle’s account.

The Spring Goddess, Ostara, a human woman, borrowed from the pantheonic rituals, fell madly in love with the Hare King during the equinox. In my reading, Holtzmann seems just to have been speculating that a previous version of the story featured a bird, but Oberle made the leap to a tale in which a physical transformation occurred, and then ascribed that transformation to the goddess Ostara. Traditionally honored in the spring, her festivals celebrated fertility and rebirth. Every year however, at the coming of spring the hare remembers, and in commemoration of its original bird nature lays eggs as an offering to Spring and Youth it symbolizes. For example, Michigan’s Crawford Avalanche of April 12, 1900, tells us that the story is “one of the oldest in mythology,” despite the fact that it was then less than twenty years old: ORIGIN OF EASTER RABBITS The Venerable Bede claimed Eostre was the Saxon version of a Germanic goddess called Ostara.
