Goddess Oils

In many early cultures, the idea of the divine was  seen as feminine -  God is Goddess, primarily the Moon Goddess with her triple aspects of  Maiden, Mother and Crone which correspond to the cycles of the moon - waxing, full and waning and the monthly changes in women’s bodies. She is within us, around us and present in all things of the Universe, and therefore all things are sacred. All beings are viewed as equal and we are all connected with each other. She does not rule the world - she IS the world, the Great Earth Mother. She is the power of fertility, the womb, and also the power of death, the tomb. Because she is part of nature’s way, the cycles of nature are mirrored in the stages of human life. 

Women are beginning to re-discover the connections between the cycles of their own bodies and lives with both the cycle of the seasons and with each other in the monthly shedding of blood. They are coming together again to explore relationships with each other, with those gone before and those who have yet to be. The symbolism of the Goddess has brought an energizing power back into our lives and with the re-emergence of the idea of ancient matriarchal societies, a growing pride in the ability of women to create and sustain culture in peace and harmony has taken hold. They are breaking free from constraints and reclaiming their rights and power as women to bring a much needed balance back into life. To invoke the Goddess is to call upon the Goddess within ourselves and to bring for a while, that aspect into our lives.

The Goddess is also important for men. The oppression of men in patriarchy is  less obvious but as tragic than that of women. Men are encouraged to identify with a model no human being can successfully be; and as a consequence have lost touch with their feelings and their bodies, becoming desensitized. Because women are the birthers and nurturers, every male brought up in a traditional home develops an intense early identification with his mother and therefore carries with him a strong feminine imprint.   The symbol of the Goddess allows men to experience and integrate the feminine side of their nature, which is often felt to be the deepest and most sensitive aspect of the self. The Goddess does not exclude the male; she contains him as a pregnant woman contains a male. Goddess rituals encourage men to honor and bring out their feminine side without fear of ridicule or reprisal.
