Goddess Spirituality is based around the idea that there is a great feminine energy which makes up all of life in form.

This great feminine force is called the Goddess or the Great Mother and is within all that is in existence, weaving us together as one.

Goddess spirituality has no doctrine, no scriptures or specific teachings. It is an eclectic movement and loosley based on communion with nature, with the divine within the self, with creativity, ritual and with respect for all life.

There is a great body of evidence that supports the fact that deity or the unseen was worshiped by our ancestors worldwide as both god and goddess.

 

Many monotheistic religions today focus on God the Father. Goddess Spirituality aims to brining this into balance with God the Mother, or the Goddess.

Goddesses have been associated with love, fertility, nurture, nature, life, death, the earth and the heavens beyond for thousands of years.

Goddess spirituality aims to bring back into humanities spiritual culture the qualities of the feminine, qualities like compassion, healing, group focus and personal responsibility.

Goddess Spirituality is usually open to all faiths and because it is eclectic works alongside many common religions and belief systems.
