Question: Are female deities dead!?
The Forgotten
By Cynthia S!.
Mothers, sisters, daughters,
How did we fall so far
from our heavens!?
Fallen from worship
adoration, respect!.
Why do we not know
Isis, Inanna,
Kali, Guan Yin!?
We turn our back on our power!.
The Mysteries begin with us!.
We bleed and do not die!.
We bring forth life!.
We were Gods
from the beginning!.

Yes! Whatever happened to us!. We were worshipped and highly respected once upon a time!. Somewhere, somehow, life went topsy turvy - and look at the state of affairs of today!. Your poem is filled with a great message!. Well written and expressed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Awesome!. I am pagan and this speaks to me and that guy who said poly cultures are dead, certainly doesn't know the Hindus or Shintos I know!. :P Not to mention all the beautiful pagans and witches out there!.
If you aren't pagan, you should look into it!. :) You have a great pagan spirit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
There is a physicist, Leon Lederman, who won a Nobel prize for discovering the muon neutrino!. If I recall, he insists on referring to the deist god as She!. Line 11 is resonantly mysterious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
