About Me
I never feel comfortable refering to the Divine as "God" without also mentioning "Goddess." For me, it is important to Honor the Goddess too. But I do grapple with labels. My personal beliefs are not structured by one religion. I love rituals and worship from so many faiths - Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, Wicca, Native American.
Honestly, I don't know that we have to assign the Feminine Divine to religion alone. I believe that The Goddess is alive and well and living in our hearts, if we so choose. And that it is important, especially at this time in history, that we include the feminine along with the masculine. Not instead of, but in addition to.
Many people of pagan faiths worship The Goddess. But they are not the only ones! There are thousands of Goddesses, from so many of the world’s cultures, known by different names and images, which represent feminine aspects of divinity and also aspects of our humanity. They’re wild and mild, powerful and soft, compassionate and passionate; they’re virgins and queens, mothers and daughters, rulers of universes who can transform the planet, nurse a baby and love their consorts simultaneously. Their images, energy and just the mere concept of female divinity can heal us, empower us, instruct us and help us find our way on life’s rocky path.
I was inspired to create a Goddess group to discuss these things and more. Please join me at Celebrate The Goddess.
If we are going to name the force in the universe that gives us life and breath, then let us at least consider that God can also be, to some of us, a She.
Let's explore this topic together in my Beliefnet.com group Celebrate The Goddess!
