Eostre Ostara Eostar: Facts, assumptions, conjectures, speculations, guesses and nonsense
Was a Germanic goddess Eostre or Ostara ever honored in the old days? Are Easter and the German 'Ostern' named after her? Does the widespread Easter lore have roots in ancient pagan rituals? The answers to these questions are disputed among both laymen and scholars. Often it can be hard to distinguish between faith and facts. Therefore, the available sources have been brought together in this book and offered with explanatory notes. However, it is left to the reader to consider whether in Germany a goddess Ostara, Eostar or Ostera was worshiped as was Eostre in England.

From the bookmaking standpoint this is not a high quality publication and the German author's English text is sometimes awkward and needs further editing, but the author has done some good and valuable research on the subject of this goddess and has brought to light for readers in the English-speaking countries many European treatments of the subject that we would otherwise not be aware of. In this respect the author has performed a valuable service.
