It was great to see this site. I wish there was a fellowship where I could meet others like yourself that hold my similar beliefs. Things that I had been thinking even as I was going to church worshipping patriarchal religions, are espoused at this site. I feel as if I am now on the right track. I am now only a solitary Goddess-worshipper. I would like to meet others. It's time for others to move in this direction. If you can point me in the direction of such fellowship, I would appreciate it. Thank you

I was doing research for a paper on female based religions when I came to this site. I think that the last few hours of my research and expecially this site has made me reconsider even more the religion that I was brought up to believe in. I just wanted to thank you all for enlightening me and I really think that this is an idea/religion that I could very well end up following.

Bravo!! I am a reformed catholic and during my growing years in the church I had many, many questions. After I had children I started to look for the answers to my questions. Not in any written form but within, As I believe that the knowledge of the Spiritual world in within. I came across your site today and thought WOW. There are more out there like me. I have read much about the Celtic religion and found there is much to be learned about spirituality in and of itself (I differentiate religion and spirituality due to the organization of religion and the thought that belief is not necessarily what someone else thinks it right or true).
Anyway.. I just wanted to say thank you.

Well, firstly, I would say your website is set up very well, but I have problems with much of what you believe. With regards to Male/Female gods and what not. It does take two to tango, and your reference to asexual reproduction as the first reproduction is correct, however, asexual, means without gender. There for the "Mother" cell, is not female nor male, it has no gender. You quote the Tao Te Ching in one place I saw, a book that states that duality is part of all things. You state that the "Mother Goddess" religions are the oldest, and that the "Father God" religions are false. I have a tendancy to agree on this, sort of. You see, Moses, learned religion and all that as a Prince of Egypt, in the form of the Kaballah....he then led the Isrealites out of Egypt and gave them a new religion, one where God was named and given a face.."God made man in his own image". Previous to this God was neither gendered or even thought of as something that mortals could comprehend. There is a duality in nature that cannot be denied, positive cannot exhist with out negative, no dark without light, and no female without male. Sorry. I am neither Christian or Wiccan, but it seems to me you are twisting things from one source or another to suit your needs and philosophy. Lies never begat a strong religion...save the Christians, they just have good lies I guess.
Chris Bashaw <gorothannon@mail.com>
Missoula, Montana USA - Thursday, October 09, 2003 at 16:52:02 (CDT)
Well, Chris, speaking of lies, we could start with your statement "Moses, learned religion and all that as a Prince of Egypt".
Even the Jews admit now that there were no Hebrews in Egypt and that their story of an exodus is a myth.
[New York Times: "New Torah For Modern Minds",
originally titled "As Rabbis Face Facts, Bible Tales Are Wilting"]
The name "Moses", along with all the names of the patriarchs and other principal characters of the Hebrew scriptures
are Indo-European--not Semitic. [The one name in the OT that is factually Egyptian--Sheshonk--is spelled wrong.
(His name was Shishak.) And the men who wrote it got the dating wrong.]
It would also have been impossible for this "Moses" character [even if he had existed] to have learned the "Kabbala",
because the "Moses-the-prince" myth (there are several myths in the OT woven around that name) is centered somewhere in
the 14th to 12th centuries BCE, while the Kabbala didn't come into existence until the 12th century CE--you're off by at least 2000 years.
[Encyclopedia Britannica: kabbala]
"Previous to this God was neither gendered or even thought of as something that mortals could comprehend." That's ooga-booga nonsense.
It presumes that this "God" character existed before men could conceive of him--how you gonna prove that? The whole statement is
illogical. [Bad analogies are not proof, nor even evidence.] The deity whose English epithet is "God" has existed only since the specific moment at which men made him up. After
they created him, they attributed all sorts of things that they thought no one could ever dispute--the men who created Jehovah were
not able to 'prophesy' the existence of archeology, or even of the scientific method. And, yes, YWHW--Yava, Dyava, Jove, Diwos--has
ALWAYS been a male, never an undiagnosable neuter. [You have to remember that during the time of the two men called "the Isaiah
writers" Yava had a wife and a daughter--and she had a lover, Tammuz!]
"There is a duality in nature that cannot be denied, positive cannot exhist with out negative, no dark without light, and no female
without male." Wrong. Duality is where you want to see it. I emphasize the tri-ality of all things. The points I put forth are
1) that the female is the original form
2) that the male is her second form, adapted in all ways from her original form [Read your Biology and you'll see.]
3) that future life arises from interaction of the two, and that this interaction is as important an aspect as the other two. [This can
be generalized to all contractual relations, so that the fact of the triality is manifest in essentially everything one does.] Partnership
and teamwork are the keywords--synergy is the technical tag.
"It does take two to tango" It takes two to tango because that is the way the human inventors of that dance designed it.
In fact, it takes more than two--one does not tango in a vacuum. It takes two people, gravity, momentum and inertia, and usually, sound
waves to control the rythm. Your way of thinking is highly constrained to fit within the mold that your society has formed for you.
"You quote the Tao Te Ching" No, I quote the Ta Men Tao. The Tao Te Ching retains elements of its sexist origins and emphasizes
the polar opposites of male VERSUS female, while the Ta Men Tao corrects that to express the trireic (3-entity) view expressed above.
"positive cannot exhist with out negative, no dark without light, and no female without male" This is where you go off into metaphors
without meaning.
Yes, you can actually have "dark without light"--"dark" is the absense of visible wavelengths of light emitted by matter. You can have dark with
or without anything, but you can't have light without matter, because it is matter's changing states that liberates radiation in the form of visible energy.
(This is why the bible's myth of Yava's creation of light before creating stars is such a laugh--it's as stoopid as the "cud-chewing
rabbits" [(KJV) Lev. 11:6--there's no such thing as a cud-chewing rabbit].)
"no female without male" Well, you better come down to Texas and have a talk with those whip-tailed lizards along the Rio Grande--not
a single damned male amongst 'em! Not surprising since animals [mammals in particular] inherit the majority of their genes (in terms of
functional mass) from their mothers! (Along with all mitochondria and other, originally independent, structures.)
[And, if magnetic monopoles are documented, your first metaphor is also fried.]
You need to keep in mind that positive and negative are held together by the transition between the two; dawn joins night to day, dusk
unites day with night. There are NEVER only two--there must be the third which bridges them, or they are not two, but alone.

what a wonderful website! i agree with all of your beliefs. for years, my personal spiritual path has been a Taoist/Shakta synthesis. Danaan brings them both into a great modern social philosophy. i am devoted to the worship of the Goddess/Divine Supreme Female and believe in respect towards all women of the earth. thank you for providing me with further enlightenment.

For many years now I have been trying to deny my spiritual side because my faith was shaken very badly. I have always felt that the bible was written for men by men.It seemed that women were considered nothing more than empty vessels awiating a man to give her a soul.I would like to thank you for this website. I am awakening my spirit again by dicovering the Goddess(or is She awakening me?)and instead of the dread I felt when trying to read the bible I am actually experiencing joy and a thirst for all things Goddess.

About a year ago I had a series of experiences that "connected the dot" of things I already "knew" about my self but suppressed. Finding your site helps confirm my belief that I am Danaan. I would very mucy like to know the origin of your calendar, and how I may use it and apply it at home. I increasingly dislike the christian-based calendar, and really want to be able to use one that has real meaning. Can you tell me the method by which it is calculated? jan

I'm a member of the United Church of Canada and we believe that people are free to make their own opinions, the higher being is no gender (unofficialy, the belief of people in the United Church but don't look for it anywhere on paper) and that all religions are truely one when you get right down to it. While I won't be joining you at this time I must say that it's comforting to find another group that doesn't think quite the same way most mainstream groups do. I don't think it my place to try and convert atheists to any particular religion, but some people to ask me and I tell them about mine. Now I will tell them about yours as well. I hope you don't believe all Christians think as the Fundamentalists and Catholics or Orthodox do. Some of our beliefs are similar and I think it's improtant that you continue to tell people about your beliefs. i don't know if they stretch back to the beginning of time, but they certainly work for the current time. Keep up the good work.

I would like to say that your religion has a very nice and peacefull way on looking at things. It is also cool that you base your religion on scientific fact. As a male, I find the goddess image plausible and correct. That, the female did come first since the first cells that divided have daughter cells, so it works. I would like to learn more. Is it possible for you to send me more information of some sorts? I am doing a project on your religion and would like some more in depth information if possible. thank you very much

I love your page, and couldn't agree most with all the things I'm reading. As a lad who loves his Celtic (and pre-Celtic maybe) ancestry, I really wish we could fight the wrong beliefs back and rebuild our original world. However, why is it that you do not accept males there? I'm 100% male and that does not keep me from worshiping the Goddess (or Goddesses).

I agree with the bulk of what you hold true. Where I differ is is that there can be no male dieties along with the female. Sexual reproduction requires A womon and a man.
Or a male and female of any specie. Therefore in my opinion as long as neither is exalted above the other the lady is complimented by the presence othe the lord.
Aragorn Icewolf <r3dst0rm@hotmail.com>
U.S.A. - Tuesday, June 12, 2001 at 00:42:53 (CDT)
Your opinion is one that has been voiced before. However, if you look more closely at the true nature of Life, evolution and the Universe, you'll find that there is no reason for even one male deity.
Firstly, you need to realize that sexual reproduction is neither the first nor the most common means of reproduction. That first and most common method is asexual reproduction, in which the mother organism gives rise to all daughter organisms. There are more asexually reproducing lifeforms on this planet at this second than all the sexually reproducing lifeforms that have ever existed on this planet.
Secondly, sexual reproduction can only arise from asexual reproduction: sexual reproduction is only a variant of asexual reproduction. As is pointed out elsewhere, both on the website and in every advanced biology book on the subject, the female is the original form--the male is a variant of that original form. In the development of a fully formed female from the starting form of the fetus, the only things required are maturation of existing structures--any existing structures that are not fully used are subject to slow atrophy from non-use. But to create a male, some of those existing structures have to be actively destroyed, others actively remade and relocated to create a functional male--the male is derived from the female. The differences in the amount and degree of changes necessary show that the fetus starts its exisitence with the form of the female, immature but still female.
Some people are misled by the modern concept of "form follows function". This works in industrial design, but has no counterpart in Nature. In natural selection, the case can only be that function follows form. Genetic material can only reshape form, it cannot estimate function and redesign to meet that estimation. By allowing variation in form, new functions are allowed to arise. By providing for the variation in the female form that results in the male form, the function of sexual reproduction was allowed to arise.
A full realization of Nature and the Universe cannot be based on a human misconception that sexual reproduction defines existence. It doesn't.
Life exists in the female--it does not depend on the male. (For example, there are species of lizards along the US-Mexico border in which there are no males; there are no species--anywhere--that exist solely of males.) At the most basic level, the male form exists only to increase the rate of structural variability that, in itself, is the source of evolutionary change and adaptability.
It is in the recognition and acknowledgement of the fact that the female is the original formemale is the original form and that the male is simply a second form of that original that we recognize there is no need for male deities. There are divine individuals whose form may be male or female--male individuals, their skills and worth are not discounted. But to base one's realization of the Universe solely on the vicissitudes of sexual reproduction is to reduce it to the level of titty bars and lap-dancing.
Because all things we may know exist within the one great universal Mother, there is neither need nor reason for some male deity, a figment that could never be anything more than a mere fragment of that Universe.
[By the way, "specie" means "coined money". "Species" is both singular and plural for "fundamental category of taxonomic classification".]

I Love it! after reading the Chalice & The Blade by Riane Eisler & everything by Starhawk this is a revelation, a confirmation of all of it & it's about bloody time!!! I can't wait til this becomes more widely available & read. have you sent review copies to such magazines as Circle, Green Egg, or Reclaiming Quarterly. I said Chalice & Blade needs to read by every resident of this planet but Now I would include these books in my list of must reads at least equal to that amazing work. I love it- turning the fundamentalist christians on their ear with the Truth!

Definitely one of the more intelligent sites on the web.
Many of the ideas within don't get enough discussion in the everyday world. There seems to be a tendency in our culture to treat controversial issues in a sensationalistic manner that really belittles everyone involved. Take daytime TV for example. No one is afraid to show anything - or to deal with issues that were considered profane not long ago. Unfortunately there is not much depth to the discussion.
So it's unusual to come across a venue where there is a dignified approach to such radical ideas as gender inequality.
In light of the fact that the concept of "equality" is rarely understood by those who toss the term around - a real understanding of inequality is of relative significance.
We are right to seek balance - but perfect symmetry is a philosophical construct - not a reality. It is in understanding the balance of asymmetry that we begin to see the absurdity of any kind of perfect equality.
I take equality to mean a kind of dollar for dollar - inch for inch kind of thing. Two people can have equal amounts of one thing or another. But that does not make them "equal". In fact we are all different and each of us has strengths and weaknesses. It all balances out.
Still, the idea of inequality is troubling. Maybe the term "diversely attributed" is more subtle.
A grain of sand is as meaningful as the most powerful star in the sky - if that star is a cosmos away.
The different energies that we embody are all part of a larger sphere, our bodies are partly only mechanisms and partly fluid expression of something mord female life forces, we can only conclude there are essential reasons why our bodies are as they are - form follows function.
If the soul - call it what you will - is a function of being alive - then the mechanism of the body is the result. But studying the soul is not so easy...so we study the body.
In studying the body we become confused. There are things that don't make sense...but why? Do we blame the body for being what it is? Or do we rethink what is sense and what is non-sense.
We shouldn't blame the body. The perceived flaws of the body are just as much symbolic of the confusion we experience dealing with our perilous human intellect, as they are physical shortcomings. We are creatures in the midst of change. Evolution is a stream.
We know we are evolving - we are afraid to imagine how.

I am a 33 year-old bisexual male and a Goddess worshipper. This is a great site. I like the way the Danaan philosophy emphasizes the indisputable biological primacy of the female. This has always fascinated me and is central in my own thinking and spirituality. I can still remember my human biology class in college when one of the students asked why men have nipples and the (male) professor responded "Because we all begin life in the womb as females". He went on to explain how the hormone testosterone altered the original female anatomy, causing the labia to fuse to form the scrotum and the clitoris enlarged to form the penis. The male is nothing more than a modified female. This is a central fact of human biology. He explained how this change did not take place without a struggle, making the male biologically weaker than the female. It was Adam who came from Eve's rib, rather than the other way around. Many of the male students were visibly upset by this (while the women just tittered and smirked). Myself, I was both disturbed and fascinated (and, to be honest, aroused) by this information. I couldn't quite bring myself to accept it, and yet it seemed intuitively right. I did more research, reading "The Natural Superiority of Women" and other books. I discovered that yes, all life was originally female and males evolved as an afterthought to provide genetic variety. This evolution is recapitulated in the development of the human fetus. Perhaps this is also why there are so many more male-to-female transsexuals--they long to return to the original female state of all humans. I also read about the existence of gynocentric spirituality, the Goddess religions which intuited the primacy of the female confirmed by modern science, denied by men for millenia owing to their profound womb-envy and the unspoken sense that *they*, not women, are the "second sex". And yet even the Greeks and early Christians referred to the soul as "she", having intuited that existence is basically feminine. Soon after this discovery, I w
oke up one night and felt mysteriously surrounded by a feeling of deep comfort and love. I felt Her all around--I was floating in the womb of the Universal Mother. It was the most overwhelming and beautiful experience of my life. For women the Goddess is a powerful image, but it can be juss is a powerful image, but it can be just as powerful for men--helping us to connect back to our original, universal femininity. Every time I shower and see my nipples or the seam running down the bottom of my scrotum I am reminded that my penis is just an enlarged clitoris, that my maleness is merely a variation on the original female template all beings share. We males should appreciate our own bodies and sexuality but we also need to remember that we are just mutated females. Perhaps we need to dispense with the concept of masculinity altogether. There is evidence that nature Herself is doing this--geneticists have discovered that the Y chromosome is deteriorating rapidly. Some scientists speculate that evolution has an end point attached to maleness. We all begin as females, perhaps males have served their purpose and a single-sex society is the next stage in the evolution of our species. I would love for others to e-mail with their thoughts and feelings about the Goddess and these ideas. Thanks again for a wonderful site.

First off, I’d like to thank you for your work. I have great admiration for what you have accomplished. I would like you to know that I have purchased your entire library because I want to know as much as I can about the details of your work and philosophy, and I believe tangible financial support is one way to show my support. I realize these issues will no doubt be addressed in your library, so I hope you will indulge my impatience. I respectfully submit the following questions: #1. Presuming the divine is sufficient unto itself, what do you believe is the purpose of creation? #2. Is the Immortal Lady an actual conscious entity? #3. Do you define the Immortal Lady as eternal or merely everlasting? Rather, is she a created being, and if so, what created her? #4. You state the purpose of the male form as evolutionary advancement - advancement toward what end? #5: What do you believe about the existence of the various pantheons – are they merely human creations, or do they have independent existence?

For months I've tried to find a type of "belief" that I could stand behind. I guess it's in our nature to need something to believe in, but none of the religions made sense to me, I'm very skeptical. And I NEVER believed the fact that there was one GOD and it had to be male. Today, I stumbled upon your website thanks to religioustolerance.com, and I haven't been able to get off of it for the past 3 hours. I've read every page and all your guestbook, and I have to agree with everyone that this is what I've been looking for. I REALLY want more information, but even the internet doesn't seem to expand on this. Is it a wide spread "religion" (if I may use that term), or was it something a bunch of women just dreamed up? If it's legit and it has been around for many years, I want to know more. It describes everything I've searched for. Please let me know where I can buy books or get more information on this. Thanks for the amazing website. It was truly a revelation for me! Nikki :o)

Was searching for info on Athena and found your site. Now, I'm only beginning to read up on Greek mythology, but I'm a little confused on your choice of a goddess. I mean, Athena's a fine goddess--I love her dearly--but I just don't think she encompasses all of the traits you are bestowing on her. Not to try to reorganize your whole religion (which you have obviously put a lot of thought into), but have you considered Artemis? She's a virgin goddess (that is, a young, free, independant woman), but she is also the goddess of child-birth, as well as the goddes of the Moon and of wild, untamed Nature. I wrote a paper that partially deal with Artemis (and other Grek/Roman Moon goddess) It's at http://matrix.crosswinds.net/~lunatic13/GreekRoman.html Well, if nothing else, at least other people will se this in your guestbook.

I'm an unaffiliated pagan and found your site after wandering from Black Raven's Wicca page to The Witch's Voice to the Goddess 2000 Project and several others...until now I had thought that Wicca was the closest religion to my beliefs, although I was always dubious about the heavy use of magick and ritual. I follow the Charge of the Goddess, the Wiccan Creed, and the Threefold Rule, but I was never ready to call myself Wiccan. The Goddess is the only deity that exists for me, and your words and writings seem to echo that sentiment. Thank you for providing this page and helping seekers like me find what they are looking for...maybe a part of their lives that they've been missing. I'd like to learn more, to hear how you express your faith and your beliefs. I think that Dianic worship may be what I'm looking for. I will continue my exploration of this page and other Pagan sites, but feel free to contact me and tell me more about Danaans. Thanks again.

Your website is beautiful. I just had to remark on that. I've been interested in the Pagan religions for quite some time now, and I'm studying to become Wiccan. I've often thought about becoming a Dianic since I admire the worship of a Great Goddess, which is very inspiring and strengthening to us women. But, a part of me must respect the father. I was raised by a man, which had its advantages as well as its disadvantages. So I respect the Father God just as the Mother Goddess. For me, it seems like the natural thing to do. I reflect more with the Goddess, but I also pay respect to the Father God. So, perhaps, being Dianic just isn't for me. But I very much love your website. I've been surfing around and I've seen so many hate sites from narrow-minded evangelist religions. This is a nice change. =)

For years I've been interested in the Goddess and "pagan" religions. Even though all around me, my friends, my peers were all devoted Christians. I was driven far away from it after years of catholic school, being told I was going to hell because my family didn't go to church ect ect ect. Presently I am in a public school and still I am looked down upon by people because of my beliefs (things like I thinking the homosexual people are not evil). I found this site and I am amazed at it. It seems that maybe I've found a relgion that I can feel comfortable and happy in. I read the texts and think " Wow that is how I feel about that.." Thank you so much...This means the world to me.

I have ecently begun searching the web for information on different religions, and points of view about God and Goddess. This sighthas made me feel more at home with my thoughts about a divine beingthat I have had for years. If possible I would like information on what the Danaans view is on the bible. I have been told that many events in the bible have been scientifically proven(i.e.the great flood), and I was wondering what your views are towards these 'proven' events. Also, anyone in my area wishing to correspond about the Goddess, please respond.

But unlike most neo-pagans,druids included, I am a monotheist at heart. Not for me those amorphous pantheonsof imageless gods and goddesses. I say Divinity is one; Divinity is female.There is a lot in your site that appeals to me as a gay, "cosmologically-correct",Goddess worshipper. I hope that deeper investigation of the Danaan materialwill prove fruitful for my quest.

When I was 21 and had my first psychic reading, I was told that latter in my life, I would meet up with people calling themselves the Danaans...and these people would become my extended family. Ever since that time, I have read up on the pre-celtic Danaans and every other reference I could uncover to discover who and what these people might be. Today I discovered your homepage. Please keep me connected with updates and/or information that might be pertinent to this unfunfoldement of mystery. Blessings, Ashleea

May I tell you as briefly as possible a little story about myself.I was raised in home full of love and caring...loosly religiousin the sense that we went to church every sunday, it was more a"part" of life rather than a specific interest for my family.But I, I wanted to understand everything...to "know" god...I was never angry about it...thankfully I never had the reasonto hate god or religion from personal detrimental experience, my desire was and always has been for "truth".When I was twenty-one I met a man who preached the bible in away I had never heard before or since. I became a part ofhis work and aligned myself with his visionas I believed it to be fulfiling to me. Within five years I becamethe first woman minister to sit on the board of directors asa full member and functioned as his "right-hand", in theadministrative sense. I will mention that I was not thefirst woman minister, many had come before me, therewas always a great respect for women in this group.For the next nine years I travelledextensively across this country, started works, builtchurches, taught, studied and organized until I was eventuallythe head of the entire western outreach for the organization.I will refrain from mentioning the name of the church...I was in the midst of creating a teaching course for themany locations around the country when I came across someunexpected and ground shaking material. What I was lookingto disprove became shatteringly crystal clear before my eyesas I sat and read books like The Great Cosmic Mother;Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth, several ofMarija Gimbutas works along with Merlin Stone, Monica SjooReine Eisler and many others. I was attempting to provethat paganism was the scourge of "Gods" people and neededto be turned away from, but what I had discoveredproved that the truth was....it was preciselythe other way 'round. Needless to say my world was completelyundone...not everything...but a great deal of what I stoodin pulpits and preached rang hollow in my own ears and I found I could n
o longer do it. I went to the man who taughtme so much and shared what I had found...he too understoodand realized that things needed to change about what we taughtand was willing to investigate. However, upon taking thissame information to our people across the nation, we watchedas the underpinnings for most of the people we had sharedmany years in spiritual pursuit crumbled and eventuallygave way to a flood of intemperate whining that all theyhad depended on for so long was gone. In the end everythingwe had worked for, for many years was washed away in onebreathtaking moment.For the past two years I have pulled all that searching deepinside myself, looking for what truth even means to me anymore.However, I can say that one thing has always stayed in myheart from the moment I took it in, and that was the realizationthat the divine within me was feminine in form and intent.Not gendered exactly, but mother...that's the only way I knowto put it. I have found very few people with whom I feltI could align and be comfortable. I looked into wicca fora while...I was drawn, but not completely comfortable, stillcan't tell you why...not because of any evil...those thingshave been laid aside by me I think forever...but somethingelse...something that feels....scatterd I suppose.Anyway, I have not, until tonight seen a single thing thatin it's entirety rang true to me. So far, this does, I amattempting to keep my excitement to a low hum until I knowmore. I do not possess credit cards and therefore cannotorder over the net...but I would like very much to hear fromsomeone about what this is about in more detail if that ispossible...I do so hope that is possible. I realize this e-mail is LOOOONg...and I apologize, but Icannot tell you what it means to find other human beings whoare saying things that I have had to find out through myown personal experience with no guidance or direction from another person...save books.Please, take a moment to send me more information, you haveno idea what it would mean.I do have two qu
estions: 1. what is the view on witchcraftby the Danaans and 2. Are there places where one can go andvisit those who live their lives in this way?...a group,meetings etc.?...if so where?Looking forward to hearing from you,Andrea M. Steward

Over a year ago, I happened to purchase an ancient coin ring which had the impression of the Goddess of Athena (400AD). I have becomeaware of this ring having power in my life. Without consciously seeking outI have naturally begun to study the history of goddess worship, and amslowly evolving into a feminist. Having once been with reborn Christiansand seen their hypocrisy and sometimes unjust practices (abuse of children, etc.), as a type of Investigator,I have had interesting experiences along the way to independence and freedom. Justnaturally evolving into a transformed environment, I am presently working for a womanwho has a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics. I recently introduced her to a book about Athenawhich she is studying and am beginning to note the changes in her attitudes towardscertain matters such as men taking advantage of her and her money, etc.I found your site after doing a netscape search for Naomi Goldenberg. I am light years behind in reading feminist material and recently began reading her book I pickedup at the library. Your site came up among others. I assume she is a member ofyour organization? With regard to your view of Chrsitanity, after much experiencing and investigation amongpeople such as Hal Lindsey who wrote the Late Great Planet Earth, I do agreeand admire all of those involved in standing up to mainstream religious fanatics.

I am curious about the prime imperative. Would it not imply
that all inferior humans (those outside ideal ranges of
height, weight, intelligence, ability) be exterminated in
order to maximize the survival chances of the species?

>>The answer to this very important question has been added to

< What do The Danaans believe? < Homosexuality is

It bestows evolutionary benefit on those <

I searched your site (very well done), but couldn't find
what this belief is based on? As a student of pagan history,
I would be greatful for help in finding the information that
suports this belief.

Very nice page indeed! I found it to be interesting, pleasing to the eye, and very tasteful! These are
important aspects to maintain when considering the nature of the topic; Goddess worship. I am a solitary pagan
myself and find the words on your page to be very beautiful and encouraging! Keep up the good work!!!
Blessed be all.

Greetings, I love your page and graphics, seems full of info, nice layout, pleasing to the eye. Haven't had a
chance top go to the press yet, but am planning on going over there after the guestbook. I do have a question
though, Danann, the Tuatha de Danann, did you get Danann from that tale? I am somewhat confused, I saw that you
worship Athena, yet you call yourself Danann? Athena is Greek, and Dana, the mother of the Tuatha de Danann,
the mother, is Celtic. Just curious, I might be missing your whole concept, like I said I haven't had a chance
to get around on you all of pages yet. Peace!!! WilliamB

Ed,
Just finished a quickie through the website. Again, nice job. It's well laid out, the links all seem to work,
and it's quick. That may be the time of day, it's between four and five your time now. The wallpapers are also great.
One little correction, though, is that the commander of the Sixth Georgia was A.H. Colquit vice Colquith.
I am on Windows95 and tried pulling down the Prime Imperative in text format and that didn't work. I got the
"use Netscape" message, of course, but lots of folks will be wanting to use this Microsoft stuff. I don't know
if that can be fixed or not.
Again, great work! I have been doing searches using the keywords "danaan", "athenadorus", et.al. right along
with no luck. Glad you have it up and running. Also, I like your prices. Not to high and not so low as to
mak
make one think they're crapola mimeographed on newsprint.
ciao,
ciauck
