This is a group to honour the Great Goddess in all of Her many aspects, and by myriad Names, as Maiden, Mother and Crone.
To reconnect with the Divine Feminine - the Goddess archetype and Her three faces, is vitally important in order to restore the essential Balance that humankind has been struggling without for the last couple of thousand years.

"Trying to understand the archetypal image of the Goddess can be the work of a lifetime. When one realizes that She is both a single archetypal Entity and also a trinity of aspects, the understanding becomes more complex. Complex, but clearer in many ways and more comprehensive. For the Goddess is everything to all of Her creations, and especially to both women and men.
She is the beginning and the ending and everything in between"
- Deanna. J. Conway

Why the Camel Doesn't Have Horns
A Teaching from Rabbi Gershon Winkler, PhD
[Adapted from the Ancient Jewish Tradition]
Listen. Animals who have horns have them because they are missing teeth up front with which to bite predators. So the horns are there to compensate for the missing teeth. General rule: All animals that are missing teeth in their mouths -- that is, those animals who chew their cud -- have been compensated with horns on their heads.
Except for one.
The camel. The camel chews its cud and was never issued horns.
This occurred to Camel one day, our ancestors tell us, and so Camel embarked on a long journey to find horns. But not just any old horns. Eventually, Camel met Gazelle, and noticed how beautiful Gazelle's horns were, how regal he appeared with those graceful, curvy horns. Camel, you see, had a negative image of himself because of his humped back, and so, noticing the beauty of Gazelle, Camel had found his forte and decided right then and there he was going for the Gazelle look.
Camel wasted no time in asking Gazelle what it would take to sport a pair of horns like those of the gazelle. Gazelle examined Camel and said: "You'll have to lose your ears to make room for our kind of horns." Camel grew worried. "If you remove my ears, how will I be able to listen-out for possible predators? Isn't there any other option?"
Gazelle paraded around Camel a few times, examining every inch of him, and finally said: "The eyelids, then. Your eyelids take up too much space on your head. If we can reduce the size of...."
"My eyelids?!" Camel interrupted. "Don't you realize how badly I need those eyelids for the sand storms?!"
Gazelle thought for a moment and exclaimed: "Your hump! If we remove the hump off your back, we can probably fashion out of it a set of horns far taller and more attractive than even mine!"
Again Camel protested: "My hump? I need my hump. It is the only way I can survive for days in the desert until I find the next water hole!"
"How about those sharp teeth you have in your mouth? We can remove those, plant them on your head, and with time they will grow into beautiful horns like mine!"
"No," Camel protested. "I need those sharp teeth to pry thorns and hard-to-pluck vegetation in the desert, or I would starve!"
Gazelle gave Camel a friendly poke with his horns and said: "Don't you see how well-equipped you are? How blessed you are with so many means of survival? You ought to be proud of yourself. You have everything you need, including a pair of sharp tusk-like teeth with which you can bite anyone trying to attack you. You don't need horns. You need to feel privileged to have been gifted with all that you already have."
Camel nodded. Gazelle was right. He had everything he needed and then some. Thanking Gazelle, Camel walked off toward his home in the distant desert.
And that is why, to this day, camels walk with their heads held high in pride, proud of all the many faculties with which they were endowed like no other creature on Earth.
And the same goes for each of us.

"In the Quabalah, the path of the Priestess, represented by the Hebrew letter Gimel, is the one which crosses the Abyss.
Magickally speaking, "the Crossing of the Abyss" represents the most extreme of initiations.
The word Gimel, means, Camel, and the analogy is of crossing the desert, the spiritual wasteland, carrying the water of self-sufficient spirituality on one's back."

"The Goddess herself is, all at once, the impetus for, a mentor during, and the goal of a journey.
So the Goddess presides at the birth of consciousness, bestowing the gift of renewal on all seekers."
~ Buffie Johnson
A spy from the church approached and asked, " Lady, we know that you are a holy one; Tell us of the God from which your power comes."
Aradia replied :
"Though men shall call upon many gods, there is but One, which is the many.
A man is called in his life by many names. Some may know him as father, or friend. To some he may be an enemy, or a brother, and to another a cousin. Yet is he still not one?"
Another spy asked her:"The priests tell us that God is male, and that women must submit to men.What do you say?"
Aradia answered;
" Does not even Nature show you, in all ways, that all is equal? In all Flora and Fauna, there is male and female. Who among you can truly say which is more important?"
