This paper is the culmination of several years of reading, researching, and writing in my spare time. I've held a special place in my heart for Ēostre for many years now. Prayers and rituals to the goddess helped me and my wife during the pregnancies and births of our children, and with many of the travails that followed. I thank Ēostre for her help and love in creating this work. I also thank those friends who helped me proofread, gave me helpful feedback, and asked insightful questions. I hope you find this essay useful.
