THE
GODDESSES
In
the pantheon of gods and goddesses, just as the majority
of gods are Sun gods, so the goddesses are largely associated
with the Moon. Because the stories cross the boundaries
of countries and religions many of the goddesses are
much the same personages with a different name and in
a slightly different guise. They all had the power of
life and death and expressed the extremes of their goddess-like
natures from the deepest compassion and love to the
ultimate in hatred and cruelty. These are not human
beings but represent in composite imagery the qualities
good and bad that exist in all of us. In ascribing Astrological
signs to each of the goddesses we move through the year
as the Sun and Moon cycles move annually around the
zodiac. So the young initiating White Goddesses move
in spring from March Pisces through Aries, Taurus and
Gemini. The Mature sustaining Red Goddesses move through
the summer from the sign of Cancer, through Leo, Virgo
and Libra. The destructive Black Goddesses commence
at Scorpio and, move through the signs Sagittarius Capricorn
and Aquarius.
