Ostara / Easter

I've tried explaining to my grandparents that Easter was originally pagan. They wouldn't hear it and they told me I had no idea what I was talking about. :/ I wish they could see that super duper long post about the history of Easter. But I can't show it to them and they would still be in denial. :/

Yes, the long Post was very good! And shows that beliefs change over time.One of the problems about festivities is the New Testament of the Bible; a mish-mash of beliefs from Roman,Greek, Christian, and many of the Pagan beliefs.
Take the story of the Easter Bunny; a rabbit? In ancient witchcraft it was a Hare! The reason for this was because Fowl were often allowed to "roam", and would often lay eggs in a hollow, perhaps under a bush. The Hare also lives in such a hollow (Not underground as a rabbit!). So it was a popular belief that Hares laid eggs!
And that's where the Easter Bunny comes from. Just another of many "beliefs" that have changed over the centuries.

Wow, that’s so awesome to learn about your knowledge of this subject of Easter as baptism… I’m wondering if you have teaching experience?

@ BlueMarie, if you're asking Brysing, he sadly passed away in 2016. He helped me a lot when I was starting out and learned a lot about witchcraft from him. He was an atheist, which was the first time he blew my mind. I had no clue how someone could be an atheist and still believe in witchcraft. That's when I learned about witchcraft as a craft and not as spells. Witchcraft is about being attuned with nature, observing your surroundings, living in balance, knowing the plants, and basically reconnecting with the natural world. He also taught me about magick. He didn't believe in spells either. He taught me magick is change. Magick is technology. Magick inspired us to create something to do the impossible. He didn't believe in reincarnation but in a more circle-of-life view. His spirit would live on through his genetic descendence and how his body would nurture the plants which animals would eat.
