Perhaps you would think that there is no place for the Black Gaslight at Easter. However, as we believe that the way forward and true key to being an accepted religion and/or philosophy is tolerance of other belief systems. Easter is named after the Goddess of Rebirth, Eostre. That may greatly surprise some people but it is true. Breaking out from the egg is a symbol of rebirth, of being renewed. However you interpret that and in whatever way, it can only be good for you.

I have been looking for a goat necklace. The symbol I thought of was a benign goat necklace, a pleasant picture issuing no threat in appearance. Why is that? Because we need to show that there is no threat, that if someone is evil they are evil no matter what religion they choose to follow and that they have to accept responsibility for that evil themselves. It is the person that is evil and they cannot hide behind any Deity for their behaviour in any way. Yet they do, don't they? We deserve acceptance as a mainstream religion with full respect to the Goat. Not by fear, or shame, or sensationalism, but by showing that the Goat is well worth following as a sensible option to other religions.
