All things flow from [Sophia], arise in Her, embody Her as a wave embodies the ocean… To know Her is to know yourself. To know yourself is to know the world, Her children, as your siblings.
The Divine Feminine in Biblical Wisdom Literature by Rabbi Rami Shapiro
“In the beginning, people prayed to the Creatress of Life, the Mistress of Heaven. At the very dawn of religion, God was a woman. Do you remember“

okay but the female tummy is the center of the universe and the origin of all life as well as incredibly extremely beautiful. i am just saying. so if you see soft lady tummy and go 'eww' there is undeniably something unwell within you, like something in your brain is busted. i make the rules! sorry!
“The atheist staring from his attic window is often nearer to God than the believer caught up in his own false image of God.” ― Martin Buber
I have always struggled with the idea of god being both all-loving and all-powerful. If she is both, why is there so much suffering that is no one’s fault? Such as childhood cancers? This is something I am still working to understand and learn more about. I’m open to others’ opinions!
I have seen some confusion lately on what beliefs are deanist and which ones arent. I also think Deanism is becoming much too broad of an umbrella term. Deanism has very specific meaning and beliefs that differentiate from other goddess faiths. Very very few religions are truly Deanic, and that’s okay.
For one to be a deanist, you *must* agree on *all* of the following:
1. God is wholly good (omnibenevolent).
2. God is transcendent
3. God is immanent within creation, but doesn’t exist as a physical being. (God is not the universe itself/we do not worship Gaia)
4. God is wholly and exclusively Feminine, in name, form, and pronouns.
5. God exists in and of Herself. She has no consort. One can be a deanist and believe that other gods exist, but they can not be equal to God the Mother.
6. God the Mother is heavenly and Solar.
7. God is all-powerful
8. God is all-knowing
This isn’t meant to disrespect anyone’s beliefs. If you disgrace with these key points, that is quite alright. Do what feels is right in your own heart. Dea is different to different people who worship Her, I only wish to express what makes Deanism “Deanism”.
May She be with you always
Holy Innana, I come to you as my saviour, my teacher, my guide, and my sister, I open my heart to you, and place my trust in your hands Guide my soul back towards our Mother, allow me to be open to her grace and love Help me to live by your example so I may return to the Perfection of our Blessed Mother Holy Daughter, Pray with me and for me now and through all lives Amadéa
