Rebirth of the Goddess and She Who Changes with Author Carol P. Christ
Growing numbers of women and men around the world, Christ observes, are tapping into the nourishing vitalities of the Goddess. Grounded in the body, the Earth, and nature, the Goddess balances the patriarchal, disembodied, dualistic, and transcendent image of the Divine common in Western religions. The rebirth of the Goddess in our time signals "a compelling image of female power, a vision of the deep connection of all beings in the web of life, and a call to create peace on earth." She changes everything She touches and everything She touches changes. The world is Her body. The world is in Her and She is in the world. She surrounds us like the air we breathe. She is as close to us as our own breath. She is energy, movement, life, and change. She is the ground of freedom, creativity, sympathy, understanding, and love. In Her we live, and move, and co-create our being. She is always there for each and every one of us, particles of atoms, cells, animals, and human animals. We are precious in Her sight. She understands and remembers us with unending sympathy. She inspires us to live creatively, joyfully, and in harmony with others in the web of life. Yet choice is ours.
