I first became interested in women and religion when I was one of the few women doing graduate work in Religious Studies at Yale University in the late 1960's.

Our great symbol for the Goddess is the moon, whose three aspects reflect the three stages in women's lives and whose cycles of waxing and waning coincide with women's menstrual cycles.

Women must be the spokesmen for a new humanity arising out of the reconciliation of spirit and body.

The simple act of telling a woman's story from a woman's point of view is a revolutionary act: it never has been done before.

In Goddess religion death is not feared, but is understood to be a part of life, followed by birth and renewal.

The Goddess of Old Europe and Ancient Crete represented the unity of life in nature, delight in the diversity of form, the powers of birth, death and regeneration.

The women's movement will present a growing threat to patriarchal religion less by attacking it than by simply leaving it behind.
