The Paschal Full Moon, also known as the Egg Moon, is the first full moon after the spring equinox. For centuries, it has signified renewal, guiding the timing of Easter and marking a transition from winter’s stillness to nature’s rebirth. This celestial event has long been associated with fertility, abundance, and the cycles of life—echoing ancient traditions that honored the power of creation and transformation.
Ishtar: Goddess of Love, Fertility, and Rebirth
Long before modern Easter, the Assyrian and Babylonian goddess Ishtar was celebrated as a deity of love, fertility, and war. Revered as a powerful force of renewal, she embodied the duality of creation and destruction, life and death. Her sacred symbols—the egg and the hare—represented fertility and the endless cycle of existence, themes that later wove their way into the traditions we recognize today.
From Ancient Rituals to Modern Traditions
Ishtar’s springtime festival honored the awakening of the earth, much like the renewal we now associate with Easter. Ancient celebrations included offerings of eggs as a tribute to her power over life’s continuous regeneration. Over time, these customs evolved, blending with various cultural beliefs to shape the way we celebrate the season today, from painted eggs to feasts symbolizing abundance.
Honoring Ancient Wisdom Through Chocolate
At Living Koko, we embrace these deep-rooted traditions of renewal and abundance. Our chocolate is crafted with intention, using ethically sourced cacao to honor the land, the community, and the cycle of life. Just as the Paschal Moon and Ishtar’s festival symbolised new beginnings, each bite of our chocolate is a connection to history, sustainability, and the joy of meaningful indulgence.

The Real Deal
Organic chocolate is chocolate that is made using organic ingredients, such as cocoa beans, sugar, and milk, that are grown and produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It may also be certified as organic by a third-party organization, such as the USDA and FDA. Organic chocolate is often considered a healthier alternative to conventional chocolate as it is made with fewer artificial ingredients and is free from harmful chemicals. Additionally, organic farming practices are better for the environment and support sustainable agriculture. Consumers can look for the organic certification label on the chocolate packaging to ensure that it meets the standards for organic production.
