Easter Eggs have a lot to do with Astrology. This may seem odd, but it’s true. If you are a subscriber to my Blog then you already know that you can Balance an Egg on End during the Equinox. Just click the link to watch the video.
Easter, although a Christian holiday, was originally an Equinox celebration. It was co-opted by Christianity in order to compete with older multi god religions. The Egg balancing act is one that has it’s roots in those ancient indigenous religions. The Easter celebration was simply a way to take the phenomenon and remove the indigenious, multi god overtones. Of course the Easter Celebration was moved – so that it no longer fell on the Exact Equinox. That way the eggs wouldn’t balance anymore, and the indigenous religions lost their ability to perform crowd pleasing “magic”.
But don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that Astrology and Christianity or Easter are at odds with each other – they’re not. (Although some Christians are at odds with Astrology!) The Bible and Astrology are actually incredibly similar. There are even tons of Biblical Astrology References. Yes the Bible is filled with Astrology. There are even some who say that it is actually an Astrological metaphore – and that the entire thing is devoted to preserving Astrological truths. But the purpose of this post is not to prove or disprove this.
I am just pointing out that there is a very real physical phenomenon that makes it possible to balance an egg on it’s point during the Easter Season (on the Equinox, actually). This is because of the Equinox Effect in Astrology. Is it science, is it religion – or is it both? Kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
