It is just so wrong how male supremacy just keeps erasing us from existance. It is so callous and deeply traumatising. Thanks Debs and Sparkle for drawing more attention to this issue.

How stupid! it's our heritage. Oh yeah, the last time I went into a church I developed an ache at the base of my spine. If you know anything about the chakras then it will come as no surprise ;) This has made me incredibly angry, they really are hell bent on erasing any evidence of Goddess worship.

I'm never going back inside one again. I turned away from patriarchal religion in a major way and identified as an atheist for a while. Now I am comfortable with my female-centred, earth-centred spirituality. And am increasingly interested in the many faces of the goddess. Heart: that's terrible and so unsurprising. I had never before heard/come across any mention of ancient lesbian culture. It really made me think when Susan Hawthorne mentioned them in her speech. How much of us have men erased?
