About Goddess Women
Being a "goddess woman" is not equivalent to being a witch. You can be a "goddess woman," who creates and celebrates rituals in honor of the Goddess and Her children, without practicing Witchcraft. However, a woman who practices Witchcraft is always a goddess woman because almost all Witches today practice, at its heart, a goddess-centered religion, even those who include male divinity in their practice.
An important part of reclaiming the Goddess is restoring a sense of sacredness about the female body as deserving of religious reverence. Although this may be heresy to many patriarchal doctrines, it is essential for women healing from centuries of lies, oppression, and violence. To see specifically female imagery on an altar, a place of religious reverence, is to begin reclaiming ourselves as sacred, born in Her divine image.
