Ostara & the Remembrance of the Sacred Feminine Resurrection.

Ostara, which we know today as Easter, has roots far older than the Christian tradition.

Ostara is an ancient spring celebration that marks the vernal equinox, the time when day and night are in balance.

The name is believed to derive from a Germanic spring goddess, and the English word Easter has the same root as Ostara .

It still bears traces of this older, feminine spring tradition.

Originally, this time was about the cycle of nature: the light returns, the earth awakens, and life sprouts again.

Symbols such as the egg and the hare originate from here — as signs of fertility and new life.

Later, this seasonal celebration was woven together with the Christian Easter, where the theme of death and resurrection continued—but in a new form.

Seen from a deeper perspective, both Ostara and Easter carry the same core: a transition from darkness to light, from death to life.

The feminine path: descent before resurrection.

This cycle is not just something we see in nature.

It lives in the ancient myths of Inanna and Ishtar.

In the tale of Inanna, she descends into the underworld and passes through seven gates.

At each gate she must let go. Layer by layer. Identity by identity.

In the end she stands naked. Without a title. Without protection.

And she dies.

But it is precisely this spiritual death that makes her resurrection possible.

This is the sacred feminine path.

No rebirth without death. No resurrection without descent.

The winter season is the annual descent into the underworld on the wheel of the year.

This is where we enter the darkness and rebirth the new crystalline Christos light from the womb of the Holy Mother.

It is our collective womb awakening that leads us back to the light and spring.

Easter as a feminine embodiment of travel.

When we look at Easter through this perspective, it becomes clear:

It is a sacred feminine tale.

Yahshua's (Jesus') journey is an initiation through the sacred feminine principle. A journey through surrender, death and rebirth.

He came to demonstrate what a true human being is.

A person who dares to die from what is not true—and rise again in his full essence.

In the embodiment of his higher soul aspect, he is able to forgive those who have hurt him.

But this incarnation and resurrection did not happen alone.

Magdalene – the bridge between heaven and earth.

It was Miriam Magdalene who witnessed and held space for his resurrection.

Because she had embodied her own Christ light.

As I see it, these myths are meant as symbolic stories and guides for our soul's journey of resurrection and not just meant as stories about two divine people who were on earth 2000 years ago.

The Magdalene frequency is the bridge between heaven and earth. Between the divine and the earthly.

This is our innate inner Mother/wellspring of love that opens the gates of heaven on earth.

She was Yahshua's sacred partner and she represented his inner feminine. Without her he could never become the sacred masculine king and son of God.

When she anoints Yahshua with oil, she awakens his soul with her love. She consecrates and strengthens him for his death and resurrection.

I feel that when we anoint with holy oil, we awaken the soul and we begin to feel more.

The sacred oils awaken our sacred tears so we can open up to embody our higher selves.

The sacred feminine makes this transformation and embodiment possible, through the awakening of self-love and inner strength.

The sacred masculine principle is born through the feminine.

Yahshua became the integrated sacred masculine through the sacred feminine womb rite.

Through surrender. Through descent. Through the body.

Without the feminine — no resurrection.

He was called the son of God, but he was also a human. This was his message to us. That we are like him. That our way home is through the feminine. To remember ourselves again as embodied divine humans. And that our rebirth happens through the womb of the divine mother.

What happened when the feminine was removed?

When the sacred feminine was written out of its own myth, we lost our innate connection.

The myth became tradition. Something we do, not something we live and are.

It was not embodied. We were separated from the direct experience.

Without the Goddess, God becomes distant. Without the feminine embodiment, spirituality becomes abstract or non-existent.

We have lived in a story where one half is missing.

Where the feminine was divided and reduced.

But there is another story.

A more whole. A more embodied one.

Where Miriam Magdalene and Mother Maryam are a central part of the soul's journey.

The sacred feminine carries in the light.

Many women have long been engaged in a collective cleansing of the false history and a remembrance of her story.

How do we remember the feminine again?

We remember through the body.

This story lives in the body.

The body remembers.

The more we land in the body, the more we begin to remember who we are.

When we remember our innate inner seasons and the earth's natural cycle, a deeper remembrance begins to awaken.

We begin to remember ourselves as children of Mother Earth and we remember what we came here for originally.

The mystic Yahshua.

On my own journey of remembrance, I have been led back to the mystic Yahshua — the holy masculine spiritual warrior who came to break the established, dogmatic religion that held people captive.

His message was later buried and distorted by the same structures he came to overthrow, and his sacred feminine narrative was omitted when the world was not ready for the sacred feminine.

We were told that he was divine, but not that he was also human.

The mainstream Bible as we know it omitted the years from when he was 12 to 33—but why?

What unfolded during that time?

Was this where he met Miriam Magdalene?

And was she really part of his path home to God?

Whether we are Christians or not, our world has been shaped by this history.

A masculine narrative has been created without the feminine and it has influenced our psyche, male and female, in different ways and it has separated us from ourselves and each other.

It has led to violence between men and women, between races, and against indigenous populations.

For me, this is not about religion, it is about finding a way back to the original soul story which involves both the sacred feminine and sacred masculine principles as equal.

Here I mean Holy as in being a w-holy person who has integrated their inner masculine and feminine and through that found their way home to the essence and divinity of their own soul.

Our individual and collective stories are important and help shape us and our inner self-image.

I see it as the next step in our soul and human history to weave these two together again so that we are no longer trapped in the illusion of separation and division.

An invitation.
