The knowledge and direct experience of the Great Goddess, once revered throughout the world, has been lost, obscured by patriarchal repression and distortion. Different aspects of the original Great Goddess have survived in various cultures and deities. We must look to all of them in order to find out who the Goddess really is. Images have an enormous influence on us, as evidenced by the mass of visual media and advertising in our culture. In order to free our psyches, we must carefully chose our images and the messages they convey.
Pictures speak to our hearts and our guts, as well as to our minds.
In the beginning, Eurynome, the Goddess Of All Things, danced upon the waves. From the wind stirred up behind her she made the serpent Ophion. Ecstatically she danced, and Ophion curled around her . Not long thereafter, she took theform of a dove and laid the Universal Egg upon the waters. The triumphantly female Bird-Headed Snake Goddess comes to us from predynastic Egypt.
