This week we first talk about Louisa May Alcott - her life, history, and most famous work, Little Women! Then we explore the fascinating history and symbolism of Easter and Ostara, uncovering their roots in ancient mythology, linguistic connections, and modern celebrations. Discover how these holidays intertwine with themes of fertility, rebirth, and cultural traditions across the world.
