Bunnies and decorated eggs have symbols of the season for more than two thousand years. The rabbis stand for fertility and are also associated with moon goddesses in ancient legends from Britain to China. The eggs are signs of new life, and in some ancient myths the universe emerged from a Cosmic Egg. Participants are invited to arrive at the Ardantane dome at 6:00 pm or so, and the ritual will begin at 6:30. Wear warm and colorful clothing—whatever feels festive—and bring a dish or beverage to share at the potluck feast afterward.
