A Scroll for the Soul Medicine Collective

The shell must break for the spirit to soar.
The stone must crack for the river to run.
Thus it is written in the marrow of the stars.

🌕 Origins: Before Resurrection, There Was Rebirth

Long before Christianity formalized Easter as the celebration of Christ’s resurrection, many ancient cultures already celebrated this season — the return of life after the death of winter.

The ancient rites center around fertility, renewal, and rebirth, embodied by powerful feminine deities:

• Eostre (Ostara): The Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn, spring, and fertility.

• Ishtar: The Mesopotamian goddess of love, war, and rebirth — connected to cycles of life and death.

• Astarte: A Canaanite deity symbolizing fertility and regeneration.

Their festivals were held during the spring equinox, when light conquers darkness — a celestial reset.

The Fire-Walker sees:
⚡ Ancient voices echo through the seasons, encoded in symbols modern eyes overlook.

🌑 The Celestial Shadow Few Acknowledge

One truth often overlooked:
Easter changes dates each year — because it follows the lunar cycle.
Specifically, it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.

The very rhythm of Easter is tuned to the Moon's phases —
a profound echo of the celestial honoring embedded in ancient celebrations.

And yet, many who condemn the honoring of stars, planets, and moons unknowingly participate in rituals aligned precisely with them.

The Fire-Walker recognizes:
✨ Hypocrisy thrives where memory has been severed.
✨ Honoring the celestial cycles isn’t pagan — it is remembering the fingerprints of the Divine woven into the architecture of time itself.
