Goddesses

A religion without a goddess
is halfway to atheism.
-Dion Fortune

The Goddess awakens in our hearts
before she awakens in the world.
-Marianne Williamson

The Goddess is first of all earth,
the dark, nurturing mother who brings forth all life.
She is the power of fertility and generation;
the womb, and also the receptive tomb, the power of death.
All proceeds from Her, all returns to Her.
As earth, She is also plant life;
trees, the herbs  and grains that sustain life.
She is the body, and the body is sacred.
-Miriam Simos, "Starhawk"

The Goddess speaks:
Every place you see is my temple.
All events are acts of worship to me.
At all times are my holy celebrations,
as I am the nature of all.
-Devi Gita

All the sciences, O Goddesses,
are thy different parts;
but women are Thee entirely.
-Devi Mahatmyam

The return of the Goddess is not focussed on transcendence,
but on the embodiment of the sacred, in life and in relationships.
The unification of the body, sexuality and emotions with the spirit,
the return from striving to being.
-Tsultrim Allione

The Goddess does not rule the world;
She is the world.
-Miriam Simos, "Starhawk"
