	The Watchman Expositor: Goddess Worship Profile
		Guiley correctly summarized the reappearance of this ancient pagan religion when she wrote, "The rediscovery of Goddess in the West in the late 1960s coincided with the women's movement, the ecology movement, and the beginnings of the so-called New Age movement." She continues by citing one other religious movement which helped popularize this philosophy.
		In this philosophical world-view, since Goddess worship is good, then by necessity, any use of masculine terminology in reference to God or any prominence of men in culture or society is generally discouraged.
		Not only has the Goddess been written about in New Age/Occult books, touted by noted psychologists as being a universal part of the human psyche and heralded as a rallying point for anti-Christian feminists, she is also being spoken of in public schools throughout America.

	Goddess
		The leading pioneer of the goddess movement is the archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, who has spent thirty years studying patterns and symbols of cult objects and also developed the field she refers to as "archeomythology," which embodies the fields of archaeology, comparative mythology, and folklore.
		In support of the Goddess Revival, links to the Goddess cult can be traced to such artifacts as ornithomorphic female figurines with their fronts engraved as chevrons and their posteriors as meanders.
		The Pregnant Goddess was always found on a dais or near a bread oven and Gimbutas concluded that some forms of the Goddess were worshipped in temples, while others were worshipped in courtyards (Pregnant Goddess).

		Consequently, the worship of the fertility gods and goddesses is always associated with immorality of the grossest kind—so gross that even the Greek historian Herodotus termed it totally disgraceful.

	David Spangler - The Meaning Of Gaia
		I recently was invited to a worship service and celebration in which Gaia was specifically incorporated as a source of spiritual nourishment and help.
		In ritual and song, the participants called upon the "Spirit of Gaia" to heighten their awareness of their connections with the earth and to fill them with love and compassion for all creatures and for the physical environment as a whole.
		Accepting Gaia simply as a "return of the Goddess" or jumping on the bandwagon of a new planetary animism, without thinking through the implications of just what Gaia might mean in our culture, can lead to sentimentality rather than spirituality.

	Goddess Worship Background
		The usurpation of the Goddess came in some parts of the world with invasion, and in other areas by a slower process whereby people came to experience the Goddess primarily in Her relationship to the Sky-Father, King of the Gods.
		It is also important to keep in mind that the Goddess exists in Her own terms and is not an anthropomorphic projection of human consciousness, matriarchal or otherwise, that has been overthrown with the coming of patriarchal consciousness.
		Deity is ultimately beyond gender and, as it has been said, 'God is God, not man; Goddess is Goddess, not woman.' This means that, although we may clothe the Goddess in the form of a woman or the Earth, Moon or Sun, she is not these things.
