This is from Arlo's Mystic Journey CD. Inside the sleeve is a picture of the Goddess Kali Ma. Arlo, son of Woody Guthrie, has had many great songs since Alice's Restaurant and is very outspoken about his belief that all paths lead to the Ultimate. WAKE UP DEAD words and music by Arlo...
From the Goddess.ws site:
The Divine Mother of the universe has also assumed the form of Mother Mary or the Virgin Mary mother of Jesus. As such, the Divine Mother makes her presence known to her Christian children. She instructs them in the way of the divine feminine and her aspects of...
Maybe you should ask the poster. Maybe s/he believes that the different Goddesses & Gods of the pagan pantheon are all manifestations of the One Ultimate, but that's just a guess.
This is a long thread, & somebody may have all ready covered this, but God is not, in fact, always portrayed as male in the Hebrew scriptures. El Shadai, one of the names for God in the O.T. can mean "the One with breasts." Proverbs & the Book of Wisdom talk of Sophia, the Living Wisdom of God...
I'm not strictly a Christian Wiccan, I listed shakti as my religion, but basically I worship the Goddess wherever I find Her. On the subject of homosexuality, beyond the stigma of just being "not normal" in some people's eyes, the anti-homosexual religious stigma stems mostly from Jewish purity...
Well they sure weren't caucasian, sure as Jesus wasn't blonde haired & blue-eyed. I agree that we are all one race, but I'd say there's plenty of support for the claims that our ancestors were all a bit darker than many of us care to imagine.

I haven't made 15 posts yet either, so if you...
The Divine is where both the feminine & masculine flow from. Images of Gods & Godesses are useful in that they help to reveal deep truths about spiritual reality using symbolism. That said, I feel that a feminine revelation of the Divine is more all-encompassing than a male one in that the...
That is true. Some, myself included, see Christianity as a Goddess religion, perhaps in denial. The veneration of Mary, or, for protestants, the Church as Christ's Bride; Jesus being the ultimate feminist for his day & age; all kinds of male/female imagery involving the earth, the cross, the...
For me, Kali Ma is the best representation of the nature of reality--dark, deep, mysterious, both creative & destructive. She is the womb & the tomb. Many people are turned off by the gruesome imagery in Her iconography, but if you understand the meaning behind it you realize that She is the...
Obviously an old thread, but i just wanted to say that i'm a Goddess worshipper who is male also. My favorite form of the Divine Female is Kali, but i worship Her in all Her forms.
