A Valkyrie pendant found in Wickham Market, Suffolk, 9-10th Century. The design on the shield is similar to the common pattern on Alemannic zierscheiben. 𖣐

Eostre is seen as a dawn goddess, but this is likely the dawning of spring, the coming new year of greenery and regeneration. We can attribute the daily dawn to Dellingr. ‘Delling’s door’ which appears in the Hávamál and Hervarar’s saga seems to be a kenning for the rising sun. But this shouldn’t be a surprise as Dellingr is the father of Day.
Delling’s name has a shared root with the OE deall which meant proud or bright and is also cognate with the ‘dallr’ in Heimdallr. This is remembered in the English place name Dalbury Lees which was once recorded as Dellingeberie and believed to be named after Dellingr.

"We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe."
