“For people raised and programmed on
the patriarchal religions of today, religions that affect even the most secular
aspects of our society, perhaps there remains a lingering, almost innate memory
of sacred shrines and temples tended by priestesses who served in the religion
of the original supreme deity. In the beginning, people prayed to the Creatress
of Life, the Mistress of Heaven. At the very dawn of religion, God was a woman.
Do you remember?” – Merlin Stone, “When God Was A Woman”
Painting by Elisabeth Slettnes
