There is much psychic material dealing with a community of women living at the red and white springs in Glastonbury. As the Isle of Avalon, the myth of the nine Morgens and Morgan la Fey also provide rich material. But above all, the number of women attracted to Glastonbury in the present day bears out the theory. At present, there is no temple existing on the island that openly acknowledges and honours this energy, which is surprising considering the tradition and present day reality. Maybe it is not so surprising given the context of our modern world, dominated as it is by male structure, which has always sought to suppress the wild and powerful feminine force.
Male structure has a specific place for women and that is a place of control and isolation.
A Goddess Temple is women's space, untrammelled by male control patterns, free to express feminine spirituality in all its forms. Our Western society is becoming progressively more regulated and conformity is becoming more and more the rule, despite the surface appearance of diversity. The modern day gods are money, free trade, corporate identity, democracy, rule of law and all the other devices to keep wealth and power in the hands of the few. This is not a world that women would create. A Goddess Temple can be a space for expressing and experiencing other values, women's values.
