About The Danaans

Who are The Danaans?

The Danaans are people who have discovered a new expression of the original faith of the human species. We are they who worship the Goddess.
We cherish Her form as Mother Earth, as the Spirit of Universal Life and Love.
We call Her Athena, and treasure specifically the wisdom She bestows.
We cast off the yoke of theological childishness for maturity: we are not the 'children of God', but
the Adults of the Goddess.

The Female is the original form of all Life; the Male is derived from that original form for the purposes of evolutionary advancement. The Female is therefore to be honored and cherished: without denigrating the male, we return the female to the place of respect She has been violently denied these past thousands of years.
The Prime Imperative is the basis from which all acts can be judged in an adult, rational way, so that the individual may act at all times in a way that is a benefit to Life. It is the ethical core of all Danaan beliefs and actions.
The Thirteen Freedoms grow from the basis of the Prime Imperative. They are those freedoms we as Danaans hold to be necessary for the functioning in its full glory of responsible adult life. The Thirteen Freedoms establish Human Rights as one of the core principles of The Danaans.
All humans are members of the same family, all sharing a single, distant grandmother, and, therefore, all equally deserving of respect.
The full empowerment of the individual within a supportive society is the ultimate goal of all the tenets and undertakings of The Danaans.
The Rights of Women are the cornerstone on which all Human Rights are founded.
Homosexuality is a natural part of the continuum of human sexuality. It bestows evolutionary benefit on those societies in which it exists.

Sin & morality. Morality is how men long dead said you had to live to meet their standards. Sin is the failure to abide by their rules. Adults living in the rational environment of the Prime Imperative need no such doctrine, for they are capable of determining for themselves what is ethical and proper at each moment of their lives, to strive for the personal, the wider and the greater good.
Failure to accept personal responsibility. The refusal or inability to accept responsibility for one's own actions, and their consequences, reveals a mind immature in both logic and purpose. We have no scapegoat, no evil one whom we conveniently blame for such things. Thereby we gain the full credit for our successes.
Begging your Father not to torture or kill you. Any religion or philosophy which is based on the fear of being tortured for eternity because of some godling's displeasure is psychologically diseased. This is theological extortion: a celestial protection racket. Attempts by the apologists for these religions to sugar-coat them with sweet quotations from books of bitterest gall only makes them pitiful in their contradictions and self-deception.
Male creator-gods. Because the Female is the original form, all mythologies that rely on a male creator are perversions of Nature.
