Think you, beautiful story. I have been opening up my eys and soul to my Pagan roots and I now spend my holidays getting in touch with the real meaning behind the traditions and holidays. And it is amazing of just how much Pagan roots that is in a culture today that most people are blind to see
Oh Goddess! What a wonderful storyteller you are. I was looking to refresh my memory of the Ostara story when I found your posting. I've not heard this version. I cannot wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!
Dear Carl Gough, here we are again in 2022 and i searched this out again :) Son is now 8 and his two twenty something sisters asked for this recording of yours to be played again :) thank you so much once again, the beautiful speech, song, illustrations..... best! thank you! you are our our Spring Dance of Ostara from now forward.... hope we can always find you here!
Thank you for this beautiful story and imagery. We have watched it as a family every easter for the last few years and will continue to do so. Now part of our family tradition x
Thank you Carl for your beautiful telling of Estara & the 'White Hare'. Your voice is full of feeling & resonance. Lovely artwork. Looking forward to your next live performance 🌻
I'm also a storyteller and will be performing a different version of the Ostara myth but, yours is very good. I've been searching online for versions and stumbled upon yours. Excellent work! I'm very impressed. Your cadence is spot on, the timbre of your voice resonates, and one can easily feel the emotion coming from you. So much so that you enchant people and bring them to beautiful tears. Bravo!
It's difficult to say... Pure expression of love, brought up into view. So pure, authentic expression of this aspect of God. The femenine aspect of " Goddess Ostara ".✨☀️✨.
The imagery chosen is absolutely stunning. 💚 I would love to sit around the fire under the stars listening to your stories! I too wish the hairs had a snooze button to sometimes!
I've been looking for a story like this. I'm so happy to have found your video, you told this story so well ❤ I'm looking forward to playing this fir my children
Saelkath You're very kind, thank you. I have another one on TH-cam although it's for Christmas - but if you're interested... th-cam.com/video/MPLIddK7ohc/w-d-xo.html
When I first saw a hare as a child i was amazed at it's size up to the wild rabbits. I live in an area where the locals still clinging to their pagan roots were oppressed and called witches (just another word for wise ones) they were hung at Lancaster Castle in 1600s.
It's a song that has haunted me for decades. I was given a mix tape a long LONG time ago with this song on it but I've never known the origin or artist. If anyone knows, please please let me know 🙏
I've a few recorded stories on You Tube but this is the only Ostara story. I've posted them all on my website www.storyteller-carl-gough.co.uk/listen-to-a-story.php
What you said about Ostara not being a morning person that wanted to put the blanket over her head a little bit longer yesterday we had a huge swath of storms from Canada all the way down to Louisiana and the guards are battling for earth to protect us humans of all the damage we’ve done to it including Odin Thor Vs TYR, it’s been obvious with the weather patterns including North Dakota and South Dakota getting an estimated 20 inches of snow in the last 48 hours the weather has been extreme and people on earth need to do something good stop the climate change stop fracking stop over fishing and killing the ocean send donations to sea shepherds. I appreciate you
As it is impossible for rabbit to come out of eggs ( as rabbit is viviporous n not oviporous), it can only be a man made story. People celebrating the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST hence should call the day RESURRECTION SUNDAY and NOT EASTER sunday because rabbit , eggs and easter is NOT at all related to the resurrection of OUR LORD n SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. Blessed RESURRECTION SUNDAY to all!
Why is the word 'bunnies' misspelled in the on-screen lead-in? Glaring misspellings are always a red flag for me, when it comes to anyone's literary efforts. Like I wouldn't trust an architect to design my house, who didn't at least personally know how to hammer in a nail correctly.
Thank you. I'm so glad to be able to give you a platform from which to help you glow with self importance and in the process show how you've completely missed the point. Never mind, we clearly all have our failings.
I love learning my northern European pagan past! Thank you. This was fantastic.
Think you, beautiful story. I have been opening up my eys and soul to my Pagan roots and I now spend my holidays getting in touch with the real meaning behind the traditions and holidays. And it is amazing of just how much Pagan roots that is in a culture today that most people are blind to see

Eostara trying to hit snooze despite wanting to bring spring is pretty much exactly me.

It's a song that has haunted me for decades. I was given a mix tape a long LONG time ago with this song on it but I've never known the origin or artist. If anyone knows, please please let me know 🙏
Happy Vernal hippity hop!!!
Do U have any more stories like this
Thanks. In what sense? I tell lots of different types of story. This one fits a few genres so can you be more specific?
@@carlgough7354 anymore Ostara Stories?
I've a few recorded stories on You Tube but this is the only Ostara story. I've posted them all on my website www.storyteller-carl-gough.co.uk/listen-to-a-story.php
what is the origin of the story? was it one from you? or from a certain area? I'm very curious.
The core story is one I heard a long while back, but sorry to say I don't know the details regarding its origin.
Found this blogs.loc.gov/folklife/2016/04/ostara-and-the-hare/
