Female-spirituality

“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“

- When God was a Woman by Merlin Stone

Megan Williams, from "There Will Be Bad Days" [ID in ALT]

patriarchical religion is first and foremost a male supremacist tool for propaganda not a spirituality

All will be well, with God’s help (I say in a rosarian, goddess-worship way)

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!

& you know what it actually IS lifechanging to smile at strangers & say please & thank you & goodmorning & compliment someones outfit & help someone in need & be more accepting of loving other people just because they are other people!!!

The debate about whether nature worship makes sense theologically or not bc it's a creation annoys me because it's always one extreme or the other when to me as a panentheist the most obvious answer is like, a tree itself isn't a god but it contains a divine spirit so when we're hugging trees or whatever we're not worshipping the tree itself but the divine spark that lives within it. That's all it has to be. The Goddess put Her essence in the earth and at the end of time the earth will cease to exist but She won't, She will simply call Her spirit back and make something else with it

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!

Requirements for being a Deanist

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
