"THE GODDESSES... SUCH AS GREEK ATHENA, HERA, ARTEMIS, HECATE, ROMAN MINERVA AND DIANA; IRISH MORRIGAN AND BRIGIT; BALTIC LAIMA AND RAGANA; RUSSIAN BABA YAGA, BASQUE MARI, AND OTHERS, ARE NOT "VENUSES" OF FERTILITY, PLEASURE AND PROSPER- ITY. THESE LIFE-GIVERS AND DEATH WIELDERS ARE "QUEENS" AND "LADIES" AND AS SUCH THEY REMAINED... IN SPITE OF THEIR OFFICIAL DETHRONEMENT."
- The Language of the Goddess
- by Marija Gimutas
Daughters of these ancient, vulnerable and truly formidable Goddesses, I greet you. For the beautiful spirits, female and male, who are ready for what follows, I write these words which I trust will bear sweet fruit in good time.
I am a dominant woman who has made the way of the Goddess my way of life. Many who are attracted to dominant/submissive love either reject religion altogether, or they tolerate a psychic split which keeps their sexuality on one side, and their spirituality on the other. There is another, more satisfying, solution. Just as you can choose a lover or choose a home to live in, you can choose to believe in, worship and serve a Deity that approves of you and blesses your lifestyle.
"ALL ACTS OF LOVE AND PLEASURE ARE MY RITUALS" said the Goddess. Just think: A kiss, a pat on the ass; to whip someone's tits, to hug, to fuck; to allow someone who worships you to serve you. ARE CONSECRATED under this system of thought.
The religious practices of Goddess worshippers have always been life-affirming, 100% natural, and designed with natures good in mind. They are also wonderfully practical and to the point. For example, where a Christian might pray and meditate to deal with overwhelming feelings of sexual need, Goddess worshipers are more likely to advocate masturbation or making love. Makes sense, doesn't it? If you are thirsty, drink. If you are hungry, eat. If you are sleepy, rest. If you are horny, have sex. If you have overwhelming desire to take control of your life and feel powerful... do it! The Goddess will bless you. She is on your side. Don'timagine that the Goddess is just another word for God. Don't imagine that the Goddess is unreal, or it won't work. I'm talking to you, skeptic, most of all. All of the major political, social, philosophical and religious movements that shaped the world began with the way people think. The way people think shapes the future now, and we, and our children, and our children's children will live there. So what's it going to beâ_"more of that old hat stuff (of which we are all so tired), or something fresh and exciting that makes you want to get out of bed in the morning! ?
"All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals."
Cleaning up our polluted world is an act of love, isn't it? Self love, and love of future generations. Who's going to crack the whip and run the gangsters out of town? If not us, who?
When the world understands that in our over-populated world, women are good for more than mothering, it will be a betterworld. Self-indulgent males, short-sighted and greedy, want one thing from women: that we be an ever-flowing fountain of pleasure..-forthem! Sorryboys, but Mommy's got a life of her own!
What about what we want, huh? I don't presume to speak for all women, but I' 11 tell you what Lwant: I want productive labor and I want decent pay! I want good sex that doesn' t disease or impregnate me! I want the world to be so well cared for that I'm sure there will be a future! I want all the killing and raping and strip-mining and destruction of species and cultures to stop! I want to be loved and honored. I want my women friends to be bolder. I want men to salute my flag for a change. I can dream can't I? You bet your sweet big butt I can. Thanks to the Goddess I can dream of anything and entertain the actual hope of fulfillment. I don't have to tell myself that, as a "mere" woman I must remember to keep my dreams modest. Ha!
THE MOTHER OF THE UNIVERSE, THE MOTHER OF THE GODS, SHE WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF ALL, THE GIVER OF BEING, LIFE AND DEATH doesn't demand that I, her daughter, keep my dreams small!
Only some sourpuss patriarchs try to do that, those old boys are doomed to failure. Patriarchy is dying a slow, humiliating death because those dust crotches have always tragically misdirected and underestimated the strongest human force-DESIRE. Webster's dictionary defines desire: To long for, to wish, to crave, to request or ask for, to (most important) have a sexual appetite. Patriarchy has never appreciated sexual appetite for the great blessing it is, they have always striven to control and suppress it, especially in women. Can't have a patriarchy if you never know who the father is! They must control women for their accursed system to work! What if every time a woman felt sexually hungry, she went hunting, obtained her heart's desire, got satisfaction and felt good? Why the next thing you know she'd be homy again, would go after and get what she wanted (with any luck) again, and so on. What's wrong with this picture? Absolutely nothing, my friends!
So what should you do? Use good judgment, go for what is good for you, and enjoy it? Yes! Exactly! Fortunately there are billions of men and women who will be delighted if dominant women begin to move with supreme self-confidence, in the direction of their heart's desire. Why, the whole world is waiting for us!
Don't laugh!
Submissive men and women who support the gyno-supremacist idea have heroic roles to play and are vitally important to the future of this world. No one can be top unless somebody is supporting them! Submissives must be recognized for being the Queen makers that they are, and be rewarded. Submissives of executive quality must rise straight to the top where they belong. Dominants of questionable abilities and virtue should stop playing "precious thing" and get to work on themselves.
I dare to dream of a better world, shaped by as to be exactly to our liking. The Goddess, believe it, will bless us, mot just in the end, but all along the way. How do I know this? Because I've seen it, and done it, and so have others I know. Huge numbers of people in our modem day prove the practical value of the Goddess's way.
The worship of the Goddess is the oldest religion. That Her worship has continue, and in our modem day enjoys a huge resurgence, is no accident or coincidence. Goddess worship persists, and in every age is renewed, in spite of horrific persecutions, precisely because it is an incredibly satisfying and practical way of life. I must add the Goddess is indeed especi ally favorable to women, and societies founded on gyno-supremacist principles are invariably peaceful and prosperous. What is the big mystery? Nature gave women the natural authority over human life called motherhood, and the mother child bond is the most intense bond of a family there is. Every woman doesn't need to be a mother for this to remain true. The dominant woman / submissive partner bond is the only variation of this basic, primitive, and extremely powerful mother bond. Why else does the patriarchy keep trying to control it?
They want to tell us we can't control anything our selves, and make us believe it.
Well, I don't believe that THE QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE wants us to sit still for such nonsense. We can rule our own bodies, the children of our bodies, and everything those children do, as well as the future that results. The future belongs to those who have built it. We are building the future now - it might as well be a future we look forward to and have faith in. Every woman can have an honored place in society if that's how we make it. Any woman can have a real change at happiness, if she will work to fulfill her heart's desire.
It can be a bit of a shock to suddenly trust your desire and follow it; it's like suddenly realizing you've been driving with the brakes on - then taking them off! Don't worry, the brakes are still there if you need them.
