| | The Goddess--I, Intorduction and History |
 | | Often within the worship of the Divine Force the Goddess, or the female principle, is emphasized to the exclusion of The Horned God, or the male principle. | | | The Goddess religion, usually in all forms, is a nature religion. | | | Although in witchcraft and Neo-paganism she is mainly worshiped in her aspects of the triple Goddess: Virgin, Mother and Crone. |

| | The worship of goddess Adhiparasakthi |
| | Worship of God in the form of Supreme Goddess Adhiparasakthi is similar to Tantrism and Saktism. | | | This is the sound that reverberates throughout the universe and is regularly used in meditation and yoga. | | | The greatest form of worship is service to mankind, as demonstrated by the activities of the Adhiparasakthi Trust and Amma's devotees. |

| | The Watchman Expositor: Goddess Worship Profile |
| | It is a tenet of pagan religion directly related to Pantheism and goddess worship. | | | Not only has the Goddess been written about in New Age/Occult books, touted by noted psychologists as being a universal part of the human psyche and heralded as a rallying point for anti-Christian feminists, she is also being spoken of in public schools throughout America. | | | Guiley correctly summarized the reappearance of this ancient pagan religion when she wrote, "The rediscovery of Goddess in the West in the late 1960s coincided with the women's movement, the ecology movement, and the beginnings of the so-called New Age movement." She continues by citing one other religious movement which helped popularize this philosophy. |

| | goddess worship UPDATED Apr 2002! |
| | Mithras, the Persian sun god worshipped in the late empire, came from heaven and was born as a man to redeem humanity from its sins. | | | These scholars argue that the rise of patriarchy in religion has made the worship of the goddess either frightening to the men in control or has led to a debased form of goddess worship, as in the Cult of the Virgin Mary. | | | Other goddesses are Lazolteotl, Tlazolteotl of pleasure and guilty love, Xochiquetzal of flowers/marigolds, Chalchiuhtlicue of running water, newborns, marriage and innocent love (sister/wife of the oldest god, the rain god), and Chicomecoatl (Serpent)/Tonantzin (Revered Mother) of the harvest. |

| | GODDESS WORSHIP |
| | Goddess worship was gradually combined with worship of male Gods to produce a variety of Pagan religions, among the Greeks, Romans, Celts, etc. Author Leonard Shlain offers a fascinating alternative explanation. | | | The Goddess in both Goddess Worship and Neo-Paganism is often visualized in three aspects: Maiden, Mother and Crone. | | | Most Neopagan traditions worship the Goddess and God in balance. |

| | SINFUL GODDESS WORSHIP OF DIVALI |
| | This is called goddess is clothed with sinful human traits and is thus worshipped as a manifestation of God, therefore those that worship her become fickle like her, a behaviour for which they shall be lost. | | | Yet Hindus who have never accepted Jesus as their Lord and personal saviour from idolatry are spreading this pagan abomination of goddess worship which will bring curses and calamity to this nation. | | | Brahman priests are in problems, they lead out in Lakshmi worship, yet Lakshmi is represented in their scriptures as hating them and will never bless their house. |

| | Goddess |
| | The leading pioneer of the goddess movement is the archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, who has spent thirty years studying patterns and symbols of cult objects and also developed the field she refers to as "archeomythology," which embodies the fields of archaeology, comparative mythology, and folklore. | | | This was allegedly a peace-loving, egalitarian society spread across the whole of Europe, wherein the Mother Goddess was worshipped as the center of religion. | | | A culture may worship the "Great Goddess" and therefore consider females as the creators of all life, while another culture may believe females to be the only creators of life but not necessarily believe in the "Great Goddess." One need not imply the other. |

| | Goddess Worship in Ancient Greece |
| | His worship consisted of the unity of the spirit and nature, the human, the animal and the divine. | | | In examining the worship of the Goddesses and Gods within this period, what comes to light is the specific roles of these divine beings, as well has the freedom worship allowed women. | | | His intriguing and multi-faceted role recalls the ancient goddess religions as well as the eternal importance of the earth, unity (spirit/nature), and the feminine in ancient worldviews. |

| | Goddess Worship Background |
| | The Hindu and Buddhist pantheons are rich in Goddesses and those religions allow for Her worship. | | | While the pantheistic religions did retain the Goddess in a subjected form, the monotheistic religions which arose from the Middle east, although originally themselves worshippers of the Great Mother, began to identify the Goddess as their greatest spiritual enemy equating Her worship with idolatry and evil. | | | A variety of factors have attributed to the 'rediscovery' of the religion of the Goddess in the West. |

| | Mary Queen of Heaven, Goddess & Saint |
| | It is because of the love for Mary that the Church considered elevating the Blessed Virgin Mary to the role of Co-Redeemer. | | | For many European Christians, the blending of their ancient Goddesses with the Blessed Virgin Mary has been a well accepted fact of their faith for centuries, there is no conflict. | | | The Christian church also conferred the Goddess's title on the mother of Jesus. |

| | She was worshipped by many different peoples and by many different names: Ishtar by the Babylonians; Asherah and Astarte by the Canaanites, Hebrews, and Phoenicians; Isis by the Egyptians; Cybele by the Phrygians; Anahita by the Persians... | | | Consequently, the worship of the fertility gods and goddesses is always associated with immorality of the grossest kind—so gross that even the Greek historian Herodotus termed it totally disgraceful. | | | The cult of the Goddess is a dominant motif in the recovery of women's religious roots. |

| | David Spangler - The Meaning Of Gaia |
| | I recently was invited to a worship service and celebration in which Gaia was specifically incorporated as a source of spiritual nourishment and help. | | | Paradoxically then, we seem to need to call something sacred in order to make it worthy of receiving our highest values and noblest relationships, while in the Judeo-Christian tradition God appears under no such constraint, giving Himself freely and totally to creation whether it is seen as "sacred" or not. | | | Being a new icon for worship is not enough. |
