Are there any Goddess Worshippers out there?

Question

I have been trying to find my way, spiritually. I recently found some information on Goddess worship and thought, "oh wow, I think I found my niche." I tend to gravitate towards the Goddess than the Gods. Now I am not a feminist because I am a housewife but I do find my peace in the Goddesses.

I was just wondering, is there anyone else that follows the Goddesses anymore?

Okay, I am a witch. I have looked into Wicca but I found the rituals too much for me. I want something simple. I still do spells and do all the precautionary measures but I just want to know how many Goddess Worshippers there are. I prefer females to men. I am not a lesbian or anything. I find the bond of women more appealing. Women are sacred to me. Women hold the future of the world in the wombs.

Smitty, I actually have considered that. My alias was once called Eris Tellura. Which means grounded chaos. But I found out that I am more balanced and more of a motherly type so, I can't really follow that anymore.

Answer 1

Yes, many different Goddesses in fact. :-)

Frigga, Freyja, Idunna, Sigyn, Fulla, Gefjon, Nanna, Saga, Zisa, Var, Nerthus, Sif, Skadi, Eir, Hella, Lofn, Jarnsaxa, Ran, Sjofn, Snotra, Sunna, Syn, Thrud, Vor, The Disir, & The Norns

Answer 2

I certainly worship the feminine, but goddesses, not really. I've studied many of the goddess cults, but none of their deities have been even half as interesting as the real women I've been fortunate to know.

In Seattle there was a fairly large group of neo-pagans belonging to the Temple of Diana, but I see that as less a religion than a sisterhood embraced in the face of a patriarchal culture and the "second-class" citizenship some still try to assign to women. Most would say they were not worshipping a deity so much as an aspect of our nature.

FYI-- I am a feminist AND a housewife- the two are not mutually exclusive. I make sure to involve both the male and the female in my worship, as both are instrumental to Creation. There may be love without opposite genders, but there must always be male and female to create another life. I am a worshipper of Abnoba, an anicent Celtic goddess local to the beginning of the Danube river. She found me while I was camping in the Sierra Nevadas, as I was wading in a creek. I felt her name form in my mind, though I had never heard of her before. She invited me for a dunk in the water, and showed me a river-polished granite stone as a keepsake. I came home from that trip transformed.
While worship of a goddess is a wonderfully inspiring and meaningful religious preference, we have to remember that the One has no gender-- The One manifests itself in the Male and Female, animate and inanimate, visible and invisible, knowable and and inconceivable all at once. In my prayers, I always acknowledge the Nameless God and the One, even though I usually talk to Abnoba.
Remember to be open to all ideas before you determine which Name you choose to call your Goddess. You may become a worshiper at a temple of Isis, Hera, Diana, Maeve, Ishtar, Kali, Aphrodite, Friga, Morrigan or Brigid, or all at once. They are all but a few names for different cultures' ideas of female divinity, and each has her own personality and domains. But if you are touched by an unfamiliar Name, don't be afraid to seek knowledge of her. The God and Goddess who seek you out for themselves are the most powerful presences you will ever confide in.

Answer 4

I am a goddess worshiper, but I pretty much designed my own set of beliefs.

I started testing the concept of goddess against everything I felt to be wrong in the world and got answers.

May you receive many blessings of the goddess and find communion with her at the end of life.

Answer 5

If you look at the natural world, you see the feminine and masculine principles. There doesn't have to be a god or godess, per se, but you might feel a sense of awe when you consider that the feminine side of everything is so beautiful and powerful. I think you're searching for a way of expressing this wonder!

Just to get u started. Many, many people choose to worship God in the feminine, which I think is a vital balance to the masculine based worship of the majority of major religions. But its also good not to commit to a belief too strongly. Keep your mind open. I DID pray to a female deity for a while, but I felt more...complete when I began addressing God as the androgenous "Spirit", in the fashion of my Native ancestors.

But that's just me! Blessed Be ;)

Answer 8

I am a Goddess ... J/K!! I know many women who believe in Goddess worship and they are normal, well balance women. I love That one of them wears a tee-shirt that reads "My Goddess gave birth to your God" .. Best Wishes on your spiritual journey. It is a very private, and a very rewarding journey.

I do not recruit or try to convert anyone, but have you looked into Wicca or witchcraft? Books by Raymond Buckland and Scott Cunningham may give you some of the answers you seek

Answer 10

Yes I worship Sophia, mother of the holy angels and queen of hyperspace.

And also Zoe, her daughter, who was disguised as a serpent in the garden of eden to liberate Eve & Adam from the cosmic clown who thought he was the highest god.
