Thealogy specifically aims to counter what its proponents perceive as the massive dualistic (additional info and facts about dualistic) sexism in the field of religion, by asserting a female worldview (additional info and facts about worldview) that is not merely reformist or derivative, so its proponents would see this quip as especially destructive.

But if thealogy asserts a female worldview, not just a female localview, then we are exploring whatever we damn well please around the divine, with female eyes, maps, torches and feet.

 Metaformia
After several years of immersion in the theory, by which time I was in the midst of my doctoral studies,[4] a metaformic thealogy began to form itself as I searched for a thealogy that would deepen my faith, not alienate me from it.
The thealogy, in turn, gave me a way to understand metaformic theory as both relevant and necessary in the context of my own relationship with Goddess and God.
The thealogy gave me a way to call on subconscious remembrances alive within both my brain and body—a treasury I never would have been able to call on through 'conscious' or more critical-analytical means.

 Talk:Tahirih Thealogy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Tahirih Thealogy: Female Christ Spirit of the Age' is a book by Starr* Saffa (she seems to like seeing her name written with a star on the end).
By now many of you may have seen the recent ad for buying the book “Tahirih Thealogy: Female Christ Spirit of the Age” in the March edition of New Dawn Magazine, p.77, however, I would like to bring your attention to a letter to the editor written by Michael S. on page 12.
It is timely to examine why the word ‘androgyny’ is mentioned so many times in the Gospels which have only recently come to light and to reconsider why the Christ Spirit needed a second coming.

 MatriFocus Web Magazine, Thealogy of One: Unity, Diversity and Goddess in Troubled Times
I propose a thealogy of unity, as opposed to plurality, as the basis for a philosophy of non-violence, toleration and liberation.
A thealogy of unity, where the Divine is one entity of which we are all a part, allows us to articulate at the lowest common denominator a concept of sameness.
That is to say, if there is only one Goddess and we are part of Her because we are created through a process of emanation, then we are made of the same stuff even though we are individuals.

 The Arcane Archive - Proposed Composite a.r.w. FAQ for Comment, 2/4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
My point was about conflation of 'myth' with 'thealogy' where such terms ought not arise in contradistinction when discussing the Wiccan Path from *within* it.
My own experience indicates that this rhetoric is largely rejected within Neopagan thealogy, neither necessarily accepting that 'the World' *had* a 'Creator' in any linear sense, nor accepting that She is somehow different from Her Child.
There are countless Dianic Wiccans for whom 'the God' is either a hazy and unnecessary fragment of Wiccan thealogy or does not appear within the teachings at all, the Great Goddess either always having existed, given birth to Herself, or appeared out of the nongendered Void.

I was discussing this issue (reincarnation/rebirth) with a few of my Wiccan Elder friends and there does appear to be 1) a distinct lack of discussion surrounding the definition of 'reincarnation' within Wiccan groups and 2) a difference between Wiccan reincarnation and Buddhist rebirth (the two words being different for good reason).
Thealogy is less important to most Wiccans, I think, than it is to other major religions.
It should be said, however, that many Wiccans (and other Hermetics), think of 'all this' as a School, in which we are here to 'learn our lessons' before 'moving on' to the heavens of happy romping or to some 'greater unknown'.

Along the way she discusses many topics, but the core of the book is rooted in relating thealogy and experience, as well as the meaning of the Goddess.
According to Christ, thealogy, the study of Goddess, begins in experience.

Some types of Goddess thealogy have worked as Goddess monotheism, without any parallel God or attendant God consort; this may or may not include hostility for masculinity.
Much is therefore made in Goddess culture of spiritual mothering ie creativity, mothering the vulnerable, or the planet.
Of all sectors of Goddess Spirituality, Paganism has the most well developed culture of a divine polarity of gender which has strong parallels with Tantra.

'Tahirih Thealogy: Female Christ Spirit of the Age' is a very erudite book by Starr* Saffa (she seems to like seeing her name written with a star on the end) that appeared out of nowhere at the start of 2005.
Tahirih was the animating Voice of the Primal Point which was breathed into the world in 1844 and is now arising in Her second cycle to take Her rightful position which was concealed for the past 160 years by false appropriation into the Baha’i movement.
I suggest that these young people would gladly be able to make the transition from old Islamic rule to that of their home grown hero and heroine (The Bab and Tahirih) who are once again raising their Voice through the living letters to usher in the time of humanity coming to age.

 The Wiccan Goddess: A Wholistic Gaian Thealogy for the 21st Century, Pt I - Nature VS Super-Nature, by Chris Tannlund   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Whether it is being lovingly described by its adherents, tallied as a social movement by impartial statisticians, or even decried as "Satanic" by Christian apologists, Wicca is almost universally (alongside its many modern neo-pagan cousins) labeled an "Earth Religion." This is the first "sacred cow" I will challenge in this essay.
It is Her body, the real, physical, sensually vibrant, lush and beautiful body of the Great Goddess, the Mother of All, and all Wiccan thealogy and ethical philosophy begins with and flows from this understanding.
On the single-cell level, gender is a non-issue, only coming into play at the evolutionary stage of sexual reproduction -- at which point all life is born of woman.
