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

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

Because religion has such a compelling hold on the deep psyches of so many people, feminists cannot afford to leave it in the hands of the fathers.

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.

Symbol systems cannot simply be rejected; they must be replaced. Where there is no replacement, the mind will revert to familiar structures at times of crisis, bafflement, or defeat.

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

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?
