Did you even read the links you sent? All of them have only one reference - Bede
And Bede himself wrote as speculation.
Think of it - there are tons of references to Thor, Twe, Woden, Oden etc. in Anglo-Saxon and norse writings and runes, but not a single one of any eostre, no mention, nada, zilch.
there is no contemporary mention of this goddess - while the Romans wrote down the names of the barbarian gods quite thoroughly.
Ergo - there was no goddess called Eostre
Many of the things we consider have a past we don’t understand or even know about. My personal beliefs are based upon what I observe and understand the same as everyone else. One of the people that sent me a note mentioned that I was just quoting Bede. There are others far more learned in the field than I that have identified local lore that may have been passed. Jacob Grimm for instance claimed that he found evidence of her existence in the oral traditions of certain parts of Germany. He lived from 1785 to 1863, over 1000 years after Bede died. It’s likely that Eostre was a localized goddess worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons in what is now Southeastern England. There are others.
Another article that might be read is this:
I mentioned the original study of the earth by early man. Their fears led them more than their understanding. But the sun’s warmth, the soils ability to produce vegetation, water for its ability to quench thirst, and with time the ability to determine that there is air to breath. These are all basic living requirements that early man would not have the ability or experience to understand. But they all would have been determined special and be considered sacred. When it clouded up, they would fear the disappearance of the sun’s warmth, lightening would strike and they would fear it, the mountains would avalanche and people would drown so they feared that part.
This is how man evolves, through studying and learning. And the identification of the Mother Earth wasn’t identified, even though it was done by early man, until Greco-roman times. So don’t cast aside what man did and how it evolved. None of us were around until just the 20 century. Our knowledge had to come from somewhere, also.
