 introduction
When American feminist magazines ran articles on the budding Goddess Spirituality movement in the mid- to late '70s and early '80s, the information was largely limited to those feminists who either subscribed or borrowed copies of these magazines.
This may be particularly ironic, as most practitioners of Goddess Spirituality believe it is a serious threat to traditional religions and customs, not in the way that most people expect, but in its insistence on using very different frameworks of meaning and its reconstruction of gender and identity.
In planning Daughters of the Goddess, I took into consideration the argument that the boundaries between many academic disciplines are artificial and a fuller understanding of the human experience can be achieved by refusing the limitations inherent in using just one perspective to study a particular cultural phenomenon.
