Easter: Our Babylonian-Judaic Fertility Celebration

I was going to write something about the real origins of Easter, but others have beaten me to it.

See here

1. Ishtar

2. Passover - literally a solar event, the spring equinox, day 'passes over' night I guess

3. The moon - Ishtar is a moon goddess, Easter (doesn't it sound a little similar?) changes date each year to correspond with moon phases

4. The easter bunny is not an innocent child-friendly character anymore than Satan Claus is; the bunny is very much an adult fertility symbol

5. Ah yes, the egg...symbol of fertility, rebirth, and relates to the traditions of Babylonian fertility celebration

What is important this Ishtar

I think we have become separated from the original intention of this religious holy-day. Today we just want to buy children the biggest chocolate egg, and big business has made it this way for their own profits. Christianity also has not helped, hijacking this holy-day with their own human sacrificing Sun story. We have forgotten what Ishtar Sonday is really about. So let us take some time out this Ishtar to celebrate fertility and rebirth, which was the original meaning of this holy-day.

Amen-Ra.

As an addendum, and here's something I have not heard before, I have seen most if not all of David Icke's interview with Credo Mutwa a while ago, where he mentions the old Zulu stories of creation and such. And one of the things he describes is that the 'chitahuri', the 'gods', came to earth in eggs...like, from the moon? Like Ishtar, the moon goddess who also supposedly arrived here in an egg? Of course it is possible to read too much into the similarities between different ancient tales, but then what is reading into things too much and what is not is up to you I guess.
