Goddess Spirituality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | Goddess spirituality tends to be eclectic and loosely structured, encouraging creativity and spontaneity and the development of power-from-within rather than power-over others. |
 | | In Goddess spirituality groups, the Goddess is represented as strong and powerful and, likewise, women are honoured as Priestesses, women of power, as active and energising as the Goddess. |
 | | However, not all goddess spirituality organisations and groups are exclusively orientated to women; The Fellowship of Isis, founded in 1976 and based in Eire, concentrates on both female and male principles of divinity; it is today the largest Goddess-centred organisation with over 13,000 members, both male and female, world-wide. |
