You wrote: "Happy Easter to those who celebrate, and a blessed Passover and Ramadan to our Jewish and Muslim friends. It is times like these that we reflect on the incredible diversity of the women involved in the Reduxx project, as we have writers and contributors celebrating all three Holy observations converging this week. These amazing women come from totally different backgrounds, but share an unyielding passion for child safeguarding and women’s sex-based rights. "

REDUXX, I love what you do. You are right on top of these shady misogynistic goings-on. I appreciate that SO MUCH.

Of course, I believe in religious freedom, in any country. Those who celebrate the abrahamic holydays have my blessings. I'd just like to mention that there are some of us reading Reduxx who have other holydays, from ancient Goddess, XXwoman centered spirituality that was around for many centuries before the patriarchal abrahamic male god religions/govt ideologies took over. The ancient Goddess cultures were the original peoples with "an unyielding passion for child safeguarding and women’s sex-based rights."

" ….. In ancient Indo-European myths ‘Ostre’ or ‘Ostara’ was associated with the ‘light of spring’ and the Goddess who brings the ‘new light’. She made the clocks go ‘forward’ so to speak. The Goddess Ostara is also linked to the festival of Easter, hares and ‘sacred eggs’. She is another version of ‘mother nature’ and the ‘awakening of the feminine’ principle behind the Sun’s light….. " from recent article by Neil Hague

Again, I'm not critcizing anyone's choice of religion, holidays, etc. But if I can't mention ancient Goddess Ostara here in Reduxx comments, then where?

Blessings on all, Reduxx writers and readers, Lupa
