A card done for Spring Equinox. Did you know the rabbit (or hare) was sacred to the Goddess of Spring long before Christians started celebrating Easter? So here is the Spring Goddess holding her favorite bunny.

I really like this one Lora. She seems almost completely content with her ickle bunny, outside in what seems like the nice warm weather. The flowers in the corner are really nice too, the remind me of these napkins my Gran used to knit, we used for those special dinners ^_^ Anywho, great job, tis beautiful!!

I was unaware of that fact...
I like the colors in this and the look on her face.this will be one of the three pictues i'll remember for Ostara.

that's probably where people got the idea to use a bunny for easter. they're always stealing ideas from the pagan holidays to publicize christian holidays (which were usually originally formed around the same time as pagan holidays to combat them). 10

anyway, that is a beautiful picture. actually... i could stare at it all day. it's so lovely.

Another stunning work of art. The soft colors, the innocence on her face and the bunny make this a relaxing peice to look at. Beautiful work, Lora.

I wish we celebrated Christian holidays on the days they originated, instead of replacing the holy days of my ancestors. 'There is a time and a place for everything.' Samhain, however, remains my favorite holy day.

A very lovely and soft depiction of Eostre. Very serene!

This picture is really peaceful and serene. I think the woman and the flowers on lower left corner are simply gorgeous. Another demonstration of your great talent! Keep it up!

I love this picture, it is so sweet! The goddess is really beautiful, and so are the flowers. I also think your choice of colours is great, you’ve managed to capture the true essence of spring 2. A wonderful and cheerful piece of art!
