Title: Easter / Ishtar
Post by: Seven on Apr 17, 2014, 03:05 AM
Easter was originally the celebration of Ishtar, the Assyrian and Babylonian goddess of fertility and sex. Her symbols (like the egg and the bunny) we and still are fertility and sex symbols. Makes more sense then eggs and bunnies having anything to do with resurrection, right? After Constantine decided to Christianize the Empire, Easter was changed to represent Jesus. But at its roots, Easter (which is how you pronounce Ishtar) is all about celebrating fertility and sex.

Thank you Seven for the background on Easter. I most definitely think this is a wonderful thing to celebrate. And what better way to celebrate with your favorite lady or ladies.
