@rickcappetto Easter O.E. Easterdæg, from Eastre (Northumbrian Eostre), from P.Gmc. *Austron, a goddess of fertility and spring, probably originally of sunrise whose feast was celebrated at the spring equinox, from *austra-, from PIE *aus- "to shine" (especially of the dawn). Bede says Anglo-Saxo...

@ani1616 Love and justice..and sending people to burn in Hell if they don't know his name 2000 yrs after his death. Yea, not a god I want to be close to

@iluvrnb1 Joy, hope, and charity. This is what Christmas is, and this is what your god encourages. Understanding the multicultural history of the holiday deepens are appreciation for it

@987jof How does that make her not a goddess? Daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Or did you mean she wasn't one of the 12 Olympians. Two different things

@TiborasaurusRex can you tell me why you guys are always trying to tie in all pagan deities to the Babylonian pantheon? They're a fine pantheon, but their are many pantheons out there that either predate them or developed with no connection. There was a world outside the middle east.

@Nikimar23 No. That's completely made up. People have often decorated eggs as sacred offerings dating way back to the Hindus...the oldest religion on the planet. The earliest religions often believed the world was born from an egg, so naturally it took on a sacred aspect on the first day of Spring

@lukose2007 Yea...except that will never happen. We're already moving into a post-Christian age. Freedom of Religion and Diversity. That's what we are working for

@MuchTooLearnUSH Your book has been tampered with by men. Your original Holy Texts celebrated the goddess. There is holy Sophia (Wisdom).whom Solomon put in his Temple. Also, in Genesis when it says, "Let US make man in OUR image." That is the goddess speaking to your god.The Hebrew word used fo...

@zivjax Whether you agree with it or not that's history. As for why it no longer exists, we all know that Christianity and other monotheistic religions violently imposed their standards on the rest of the world. This current fight shows that they still believe everyone should be living under th...

So, you're not at the Tempe show?

@ty99999returns Planned Parenthood is the one fighting to empower these young girls. They want to give them education while others want to keep them ignorant

@rhinomad I agree. I think the beauty of all Holidays is that they relate to Pagans, Christians, and Secularists. I happen to believe my Goddess made that fire, water, and earth. However, arguing about it isn't as important as us all being able to celebrate charity, love and joy together

@Fauthal Life, death, rebirth. This is the promise the Goddess made. We see it in the workings of nature. We will stay in the cycle, and do not wish to be saved from it

@blaksphere1 Valentines reminds us to show love everyday. Just as Santa Claus tells us to keep charity in our hearts the whole year round

@gpoquiztube All things in moderation. People can be addicted to food, exercise, video games..really anything. Doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with that pleasure. It means that people are missing something in their own lives they're trying to fulfill with external things. Lust is beautif...

@shieldsff I seek to ensure nothing. I want to define marriage as between 2 consenting adults. This will change nothing in how marriage works in our society. It is the next logical step in the long fight for equality for homosexuals. Other groups will come forward with their own definitions of m...

@iamfazchan Hey, preaching to the choir here. I'm Wiccan and a very vocal Allied Straight. I have bet hatred and violence from the Christian world (I've also met very nice ones too). However, Christians do not have a monopoly on faith. It is part of many religions and personal spiritual paths. F...

@blockstarz179 You kidding? January = Janus, god of new beginnings. March: Mars, the Roman god of war, May: Maia, Roman goddess, mother of Mercury by Jupiter and daughter of Atlas, June: Juno, chief Roman goddess,. Same for the names of the days of the week. It's a pagan world you're just living...

@mrsgrant112309 Obviously. Creation comes from the Mother. It is she whom we come from

@drdst17 No you have it wrong. Marriage has nothing to do with either Gender or procreation. Marriage is not denied to menopause women, infertile couples, or hetero couples with NO desire to have children (I'm in that last category). However, committed same gender couples who would love to adopt...

@LoveIsNotNotLove ...our children get suspended from school for wearing pentacles while all the other children are allowed their crosses, our churches have to fight the IRS for the same tax exempt status that Christians churches take for granted. If we didn't fight to keep the separation between ...

@quenchick Pagan's have always had the best rituals
