Hey so for Mothers day I wanted to do a well known Syncretist Goddess
Mother Earth also known as the Earth Lady, Gaia, Tlaltecuhtli, Pachamama and Kallirugadh, is the primordial earth mother, the source of creation, and a powerful, dual-gendered deity. Like Gaia, she is the ancestral mother of all life, deeply connected to the earth and its fertility. She is often envisioned as a powerful being emerging from the soil, embodying the interconnectedness of all living things. Similar to Tlaltecuhtli, she can be seen as a monstrous, yet life-giving force, a being who both gives and devours life. Her dismembered form or body is believed to be the basis for the world, mirroring the Aztec creation myth.
Mythology: The Mother Goddess is the wife of Cernunnos, involved in the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth. Cernunnos' birth at the winter solstice represents the start of the new year, and his symbolic death in the fall mirrors the dormancy of nature. At Imbolc, his impregnation of The Earth initiates the cycle of growth and fertility, ensuring the continuation of life. She is both a nurturing and demanding force, requiring respect and offerings to maintain the balance of the world.

Andean cultures across South America, where people honor the earth and its natural forces, Celebrations often include rituals like digging holes in the ground to place offerings, pouring drinks and throwing coca leaves, and burning sacred items as a way to honor and thank Pachamama
(based on the)New Fire Ceremony: Every 52 years, a celebration of a new era takes place, similar to a new year, featuring a bonfire, stories of the past era, and tea boiled in a cauldron placed atop a statue of Tlaltecuhtli, using her stomach as the cauldron.
Gaia Day: either as a celebration of Earth day or as a reference to the name of the Greek goddess Gaia, organizations, like Gaia Movement USA, use "Gaia Day" to refer to a yearly commitment to environmental protection.
