The Goddess Companion” I bud forth delights like the vine, my blossoms become fruit, fair and rich. I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come to me, you yearning ones, and be filled, for my speech is sweeter than honey, my inheritance better than honey and the honeycomb. ~Ecclesiastes 24:23-31 Today marks, in the Catholic Church, one of the summer feasts of the Virgin Mary, acknowledged today as the Lady of Mount Carmel and invoked with the prayer above. The association of mother Goddesses with mountains goes back into antiquity. Often mountains were imagined to take the shape of a mothers full breasts. Thus the association of the Christian Mother of God with the ancient Mother of Gods continued a Goddess tradition into contemporary times. We yearn toward balance, and thus when religion offers no feminine presence, worshippers are not deterred, but find a way to transfer goddess traits onto an appropriate figure. Thus today, lacking anything better, we focus on princesses and actresses to meet our hunger for the archetypal female. The Goddess has never been far from our consciousness. In some form, she is with us always.. )0( By Patricia Monaghan From “The Goddess Companion
