There are pockets of great humor to be found in this however.

One of the many spirtual rituals shared by Sacred feminine cultures was the ritual of exchanging clothing during certain rites or celebrations.... the foundation being that the females could become closer to the masculine energies and perspectives as well as the Men aligning themselves with the femine face of God in hopes of greater understanding of both the faces of God..... In the Roman/Christian attempts to eradicate and or demonize anything outside of their pure patriarch stance they went so far as to condemn this practise as an abomination to God himself....

...and heres where the humor part comes in.... The practise of wearing robes by spirtual leaders was nothing more then an attempt to disguise and make presentable, in a strict patriarch system, this ancient attempt to experience and understand BOTH faces of God by dressing in womens clothing..After all what are clerical Robes if not watered down versions of a dress..... LOL

IMO, The goddess is the mind, from which all things are born. We all share the same mind but have become suspicious of it to varying degrees. I started worshipping the brilliance of the mind a while ago by following my intuition, stopped censering it and just loved it for its genius, still doubt it sometimes but its never let me down when i've trusted it!!

Dreamer, Thats completely inline with most of the God/Goddess teachings... That the goddess represents all that we sense and all that we imagine while the God represents the mysterious source of conciousness which concieves and witnesses the flow of life... The readers digest condensed version is The goddess, or feminine, side imagines it first then the God, or masculine, sees to its creation.
