Watching birds has become part of my daily meditation affirming my connection to the earth body.

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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