Goddess Spirituality in the 21st Century

With Geraldine Charles

I am fortunate to have been called to live in magical Avalon, but realise that not everyone can do so. And I have lived in London, inner city Liverpool, several suburbs, towns and villages in my time, including a couple of years in Central Africa and several months in Holland.

It can be difficult to see the landscape of the Goddess in a blighted inner city or a soulless suburb, but She is certainly there – in the hills and valleys buried under concrete, in the streams diverted into concrete culverts deep underground, maybe even dancing in the roaring flames of riot, war, civil unrest. We can find Goddess anywhere on – and off – our beautiful but oft-misused earth.

Once upon a time there was one correspondence course called Getting to know the Goddess - but it became too long and, I feared too expensive, so split the material into two parts.

Plans are at an early stage, but the new course will include material like that below and will be of a similar length and price to Getting to know the Goddess:

The Goddess in the landscape – we will begin simply, with our own rooms and internal landscapes, our own minds and hearts, creating sacred space and building altars to Her.

Later, we will look for some of Her special places in the area where you live and also consider Her names. Just as Avalon/Glastonbury has its own special Goddesses of the landscape, so we will learn to intuit and discover, by a variety of means, the Goddesses in any landscape or area we choose.

We may also carefully plan how a visit to a more difficult or dangerous area can be made, if students wish to do so. It may be that you feel the area you now live in is difficult enough. No one must feel s/he has to do this! We will look for examples of the dark Goddess in our cities or in the countryside surrounding our homes and learn to understand Her ways.

There will be more information here soon - please check back!
