Extracts from the episode:When it comes to the ‘blend’ of Christianity and Goddessianism it is known as Christo-pagan: which stresses the importance of the individual effort to gain spiritual knowledge and realise the Divine within existence. Some experience them side-by-side, attending church on Sunday and engaging in Goddess-related activities privately, or in group settings. For those who the God/dess is seen as having both male and female qualities the comments included: the Creator God must encompass both masculine and feminine.
On practitioner admitted that she still prayed to a ‘male God’ some-times: ‘when I need male strength, when I need male energy’. Many spoke of the need for more ‘balance’ in Christian notions of deity: male and female, Jesus and Mary/Mary Magdalene, God and Goddess: ‘Goddess Spirituality has a function as a more balanced way to understand who Christ is. I understand Christ as a cosmic presence, not just a male person’ If you want to attend an online service that blends Christianity with goddess-worship please explore: https://www.herchurch.org/
