"The idea of the Priestess is at the root of all Ancient Beliefs. Only in our ephemeral time has it been neglected. What do we find in the modern development of religion to replace the feminine idea, and consequently the Priestess? When a religion symbolizes the universe by a Divine Being, is it not illogical to omit woman, who is the principle half of it, since she is the principle creator of the other half--that is, man?" ~ Moina Macgregor Mathers as the High Priestess Anari, in an article on 'Isis Worship in Paris' 1899 ~ |
