Who is she? Who worships with her? Why would you follow her?

Question

Her worship continued unabated clear up until its
violent suppression by Iron Age patrism. When and where worship of the Mother prevailed women and Nature were held in esteem. The Chinese called Her Kwan Yin; the Egyptians knew Her as Isis; the Navajo call Her Changing Woman. To the Greeks She was Gaia, and to many black peoples She is Yemanja. She is Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, and She says: "All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals." She is also the ancient Crone Hecate,who gives us both wisdom and death.
She is diversity. There can be no such thing as all "Good" or all "Evil." Death is part of the natural cycle as night follows day and we accept it with grace as Her final gift. The search for Balance is the goal of Her people. It is achieved by the acceptance of multiple paths and truths. The eldest and greatest aspect of is as Great Mother Nature, the all-encompassing energy of Universal Life.

Paterism was misspelled as I left out the "e."

Answer 1

The truth

Answer 2

The Goddess is worshipped by many, some of whom think they're not even religious. If all acts of love and pleasure are hers, she gets worshipped on a regular basis!

Many people follow her because worshipping only a male God doesn't fulfill them, or they feel something's missing. Really, women do a lot of the heavy lifting--like, say, with pregnancy. Yes, a man gets the process started, but babies grow inside women and often drink mother's milk and receive most of their care from women.

Some people don't feel right ignoring such an important part of the creative process, the force that builds and gestates and tears down and builds again.

Some people also want to reclaim ancient wisdom that has been neglected in the face of male-dominated religion.

There are lots of reasons to worship the many faces of the Goddess.

Answer 3

Beautifully stated. Thank you. She is the Universal Mother, the Great Goddess, in all her beautiful and glorious aspects. Personally, I resonate with with Kwan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, and am dedicated to Cerridwen.

Cerridwen is a Welsh triple Goddess, Maid, Mother, and Crone, whose totem animal is the great white sow. She is associated with the moon, inspiration, poetry, prophecy, shape-shifting, and life and death. Cerridwen's appearance in your life heralds a time of death and rebirth. Something is dying and needs to be let go of, so something new can be born. We know the earth's dance of death and rebirth as the seasons. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, but undergoes transformation. So do we. To live fully and in wholeness we need to accept life in all that it is, which includes death and rebirth. Let go of what does not serve you and your wholeness. Living in a partiarchal culture has deprived most of us of the Goddess's way of death and rebirth. Wholeness is nurtured whe we say yes and do our dance with death and rebirth. The Goddess says you will always get back what you give to me. It will be changed, it will be transformed, but you will get it back

Answer 5

till i was 8 i was told there's one god, that dude that lived in the synagogue and understood even when eveyrone mumbled at once unintelligeably.
then i saw in brasil on the beach people throwing flowers and bread and gifts to yemanja, and i realized that there was more to the world than one way... since then, books about it found their way to me and teachers, i learnt to be critical of what i was taught at school and of "unmutable" truths.
last week i was with some people at the place where elijah supposedly killed the prophets of the baal and ashera and felt sadness for the lack of acceptance that's manifested in that place... the earth has healed, but there's still a dead energy about the place.
oh well.
what was the question?
