Not only did the money save our bacon financially, it made me realize that people really value what I am doing, in spite of the controversy. I see my job as editor of SageWoman as providing a forum for women. The woman-only policy has been in place since its inception in 1988. SageWoman is Goddess centered, but not exclusively. Before each issue, I announce a theme.
Articles are almost all reader-written from personal perspectives, except for our columns.
As editor, I try to reflect the Goddess community. Having participated in both the Pagan and Christian communities, I see that each has its strengths and pitfalls. Christianity is sexist, not just in its politics and language, but emotionally and in its lack of the spiritual feminine. It is symbolically undernourished, has problems with sexuality and lacks acceptance of the body and the Earth. On the positive side, Christian communities have a structure and network.
