In the beginning, God was feminine (she was a Virgin and Mother goddess), she was called ISHTAR by the Akkadians, INANNA by the Sumerians. She was the Great Goddess, the Matrix from which a Thousand and One Things are born, the Mistress of fertility and fecundity, the Creator of all Life. The priests of this Great Goddess were, of course, women, and these women united in the temples with chosen men to make them kings, the Guardians of the Earth, and the Protectors of all that is born of Her.
I remind you that the etymology of the word GOD comes from the Greek “DIEV,” whose anagram is “EMPTY.”
To meet the DIVINE is to create VOID and OPEN the SACRED DOORS of the HEART to the Language of LIFE.
