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.

Survive the Jive in his video clip here puts forward the case that Ēostre & Freya share the same role which is why there’s no ‘Freya’ in English myth (there's reference to her necklace in Beowulf) and no Ēostre cognate in Norse. Tony Linsell in his book Anglo Saxon Runes compares Freya and Freyr with Ēostre and Ing, so makes the same argument.
All Indo-European ‘easter’ goddesses have a name which comes from the PIE h₂éwsōs ‘the dawn’, whether Ēostre, Ostara, Eos or Ushas. She is ‘born in the morning’ (perhaps relating her to Dellingr – the Dayspring god in Norse). The PIE h₂éwsōs is related to another root *h₂(e)wes ‘to shine’. Venus is this shining star - the morning star who announces days break. In English myth both Ēostre and Ēarendel are associated with the morning star. So Ēostre is further associated with the Vanir goddess Freyja as the name Venus comes from the PG *wanaz (from the PIE wenh₂) meaning ’to love’ which also gives us the words Vanir and the English Wan / Wana (Vanir).

An old photo that I took at the Externstein, Germany some twenty years ago. In the photo you can see the cracks and rock formations form the outline of a figure with their arms out-stretched. This is said to be Woden hanging on the World Pillar. There is even a hole on the right side of his chest suggesting he has been pierced by his spear.

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
