I am currently in the process of migrating the content shared here to a series of new websites hosted at shirleytwofeathers.com.

According to the legend, Eostre was walking one fine spring day and came upon a beautiful little bird. The poor bird's wing was badly injured and Eostre, feeling great compassion for the little creature, wanted to heal it....
