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.

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?

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

At first the ancient images of the Goddess did not interest me.

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

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.

Why does everyone cling to the masculine imagery and pronouns even though they are a mere linguistic device that has never meant that God is male?
