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.
