The Sacred Feminine: Deity, Archetype or
Ideal - A Revolution of Thought Toward Change, Hope and Partnership
Who among us isn’t tired of turning on the television or radio
and hearing how fear, greed and abuse of power is sending our world
spiraling out of control? Who is not ashamed to read the paper and
see what passes for the norm these days? Are there others out there
tired of our leaders failing us and being part of the problem as
they are immersed in scandals, lies, and corruption? Where are the
guideposts and benchmarks that help us steer a healthy course?
Aren’t you tired of waiting for a voice to emerge from the abyss to
be our guiding light?
Everything old is new again. Whether you embrace Goddess as deity
or ideal, as archetype or metaphor, the Sacred Feminine, restored to
her rightful throne, is one answer, one method, one vehicle that
might change the face of the world. Why Goddess? Why Goddess now?
We are the future of the world and we must step up, empower
ourselves and claim our voices now.
First presented at the Claremont School of Religion’s Pagan
Conference and the Awaken to a New Consciousness - A World in
Transition Conference in Phoenix. (25 minutes)

Goddess is the Secret
Much has been made recently of the new book and dvd, The Secret,
introducing us to a New Age, touchy-feely explanation for the old
knowledge sometimes called the cosmic Law of Attraction. Like the
slightly older and more science-driven film, What the Bleep Do We
Know?, both inform the masses how our thoughts are things that
literally alter not just our perception of the world around us, but
our life and reality. Like a domino effect, this understanding then
forms the foundation for belief that our actions, inspired by our
conscious and unconscious thoughts, of course, then affect how our
future unfolds. In other words, we get what we expect. We get back
what we give.
But what these two aforementioned films neglected to see is how
one might also choose to see the Law of Attraction in the esoteric
context as the reciprocity of the Divine Feminine, or She of Ten
Thousand Names, who is the Creatrix of All Things. If Goddess is the
universal womb, the activator, the Shakti, it is from She the spark
of life springs forth and it is from Her all energies of the cosmos
emanate and flow. (30 minutes)
