| Ever here about Diana - Goddess of the hunt.
Many musems have carvings of her - she is nomally depicted holding a bow and arrrows.
Unlike the male God many of the Goddesses could be (can be) called upon to manifest their self and they can be questioned or channeled for guidance. The technology or ritual for doing this is called "guided meditations" in the New Ager circles, which is simular to guiding someone into a vision via a hypnotic procedure. The basic usefulness of this method is to be able to get in touch with your inner self to get the answers and direction that is best for your self (best for the individual seeking divine guideance).
Once I was in a group who called upon Diana and a number of them did claim to see her in her manifestaton from the spiritlight. In that case She directed someone to move to another state in search of a job (hunting was changed to finding a good job). He packed up his old car with his stuff and his cat and took off. A month later he came back on the forum for a chat and we found out he was self employed, after hooking up with a girl he met they started doing tours around the country conducting lightworking workshops. Which resulted in a good income for both of them. I was sort of just a witness of those events and not sure just what to make of it all.
During the 1980s we had a large surg in female writers and books were rolling off the printing presses realitive to spiritual topics and as self-help books. Many of the books contained a lot of new concepts and insights that were amazing. Likewise webpages (such as the now discontinued 'Spiritweb' webpage) which were dedicated to the kind of global transformation that those women were advocating. However those ideas did not seem to penitrate the wall of the political arena nor the business world to any great degree.
Americans like to brag about how we now have women involved in politics but most of them are limited to being "politically correct" and so they only speak about things like education, family values, healthcare, and so forth. Other then Miss Rice, reporters seldom ask the women about how they would deal with "man topics" like terrorism, the budget and local economy, and so forth.
the so-called important stuff.
In business many of the women ack just like the men do and so little difference.
People stereotype female dominance as some girl dressed in black leather holding a whip that she uses to punish the bad little boys. (if you know what i mean). Which has nothing to do with how a woman could influence a culture if it was structured on motherly love.
None the less, I see the 1980s as the first wave, and tide has withindrawn at the moment, but soon another wave, and another, and in a usual 'gradual manner' our culture will change, perhaps even globally.
Imagine - 3000 Oprahs marching over the hill. Indeed, things would change. |
