Subject: RE: BS: A question for Wiccans and Pagans
The Goddess is not a person. The Goddess has many faces but basically she is the virgin, the mother and the crone. She is the giver of life and the destroyer. She is the mother of God.

Does she speak to me? Not with words.

How did I discover her everlasting presence? When I studied history and anthropology. I realized that all of the paternalistic religions had, through the years, done everything they could to destroy her people, including genocide and slavery and yet, she was so strong that vestiges of Her remained with us today. I turned to Her and rejected the God of war.

In all Her forms, and all her names, she is essentially the same. The same Goddess that was worshipped worldwide before the separation of nations by the war God. She was one thing we could all agree on and She would provide my salvation and perhaps the salvation of the world.
