Ostara and the White Hare - Storyteller Carl Gough 

I love learning my northern European pagan past! Thank you. This was fantastic.

Carl, you are a remarkable storyteller. I love this telling, and story. You are a gifted man.

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.

A stunningly beautiful version of this ancient tale. Thank you!

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!

played this for my kids tonight, my todler fell right asleep and my son listened so intently, told wonderfully. thank you

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 🌻

Most lovely easter-story ever!!!

Both of my daughters enjoyed the stories of the Goddess. Thank You

What a wonderful story told in such an emotional emphatic way. Thank you for such a beautiful Easter story...

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

This story moves me! Your storytelling is so gorgeous. I am crying with hope and joy.

What an enchanting tale you told! I love the use of old language to pervay the emphasised emotions in these stories, it's beautiful.

Thank you...LOVE AND RESPECT.

Carl you did a spectacular job telling this lovely story💖

Lovely Ostara Story love all the art work too

A beautiful tale of the goddess.

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!

Thank you. Would love to see more stories from the other pagan festivals of the year too 😊

The beauty of the Goddesses. Much love.

You are really gifted to tell this story in such a passionate way dear Carl ..you live in this story ..maybe you was my white hare

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 ".✨☀️✨.

What a lovely story! And such a fantastic telling of it..!

Thank you! I’m teaching my girls about springtime & this was so so lovely ❤️

I love this, and how wonderfully magically you tell this tale. Blessed be!

I wept your storytelling was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing Carl..I just had to share with my son and watch it all over again! :-)

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.

You would sound amazing reading Watership Down. Your voice is lovely. Happy 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!

Thank you soo much. This was beautiful! 🤍

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

great video ;)

Lovely.

is the song from you? in love with this story telling. thx

Do U have any more stories like this

Dang. Very Alice in Wonderland. ♤♡◇♧

😳😊💙🧠✌

what is the origin of the story? was it one from you? or from a certain area? I'm very curious.

what was the lovely song?

Who else is here because of American Gods besides me?

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.

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!
