about  the Spring Equinox

This sabbat is commonly known in many Neo-Pagan circles as Ostara. 

 

A quick summary about Ostara-

Ostara was a fairly obscure Germanic diety who gained modern popularity after Aiden Kelly named the Spring Equinox after her.  

 

So, how did the Spring equinox get named after Ostara?  A prominent member of the Pagan community, Aiden Kelly was writing a book on religious holidays and calendars.  He was inspired to craft a similar resource just for Pagans, which was shared in Green Egg in the 1970s.
