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.

In Old Europe and Ancient Crete, women were respected for their roles in the discovery of agriculture and for inventing the arts of weaving and pottery making.

The simplest and most basic meaning of the symbol of the Goddess is the acknowledgment of the legitimacy of female power as a beneficent and independent power.

Subversive language, however, must be constantly reinvented, because it is continually being co-opted by the powerful.

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

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

If we do not mean that God is male when we use masculine pronouns and imagery, then why should there be any objections to using female imagery and pronouns as well?
