The name is generally traced back to \u003cstrong\u003eEostre, a Germanic goddess \u003c\/strong\u003ementioned just once in the historical record — by the English monk Bede, writing in the 8th century — though little else about her worship survives, and the modern spelling \"Ostara\" comes from a 19th-century reconstruction by the folklorist Jacob Grimm. What's better documented is the theme itself: across many ancient cultures, the equinox was marked as a turning point of \u003cstrong\u003ebalance\u003c\/strong\u003e, with light overtaking the last grip of winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, Ostara is associated with \u003cstrong\u003enew beginnings\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erenewal\u003c\/strong\u003e — fertility symbols like eggs and hares, the same imagery that later fed into Easter customs, and a sense of life re-emerging after a long dormancy. This piece captures that spirit through fantasy artist Anne Stokes' striking Ostara dragon artwork, part of her wider '\u003cstrong\u003eDragons of the Sabbats\u003c\/strong\u003e' collection: a pale, coiled dragon circled by a ring of runic symbols on a wooden-effect card, finished with a soft honey fragrance to match the warmth of the season it represents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHang it from a rear-view mirror, doorknob, or anywhere air can circulate, and let the honey scent fill the space around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7cm diameter \u003cem\u003e(All measurements are approximate.)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScent\u003c\/strong\u003e: Honey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hang in a car, room, or wardrobe to freshen the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is not a toy — keep away from children and pets.

Her love of fantasy took root in childhood, sparked by her father reading her \u003cem\u003eThe Hobbit\u003c\/em\u003e, and grew into a full-time career from the early 2000s, including illustration work for Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons line. She's since become especially recognised for her dragons, and her art is now licensed across prints, jewellery, gothic apparel, and giftware around the world — including this 'Dragons of the Sabbats' collection, which pairs her artwork with the eight Pagan festivals of the Wheel of the Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe information provided at inspiremeonline.co.nz, including AI-assisted product descriptions, is for educational and informational purposes only.
