This event has been started by the group Covered in Light, a group of Pagan\/Polytheist women who choose to cover their hair as a part of their religious observance.  As stated on their website:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c In no way are we oppressed, objectified, suppressed, or made to feel like a second class citizen. The covering of our hair is a sacred act of devotion to our chosen Deities and therefore is approached with devotion and reverence.<\/p>\n<p>We welcome all women from all walks of life to join our Sisterhood if they feel led to do so. Trans-women and women of other faiths who are Pagan\/Polytheist friendly and who embrace the Divine Mother are also welcome amongst us with open arms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Covered in Light International Day encourages women to \u201cput yourself in their scarves\u201d by wearing a headscarf in support of women of any religion who choose to veil.  This act not only shows support of women who choose to veil, it is also a stand against the discrimination faced by so many women who cover.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Where to begin?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plus a little victimhood by proxy&#8230; A Pagan Soccer Mom writes: Friday, September 21 has been declared Covered in Light International Day.
