From EDITOR'S CHOICE: Islam and the Divine Feminine:

Woman as Creator

One of the most outright declarations of the Divine Feminine in all Sufi literature is in Rumi's Masnavi. In a passage praising the feminine qualities of kindness and gentleness, a passage that is increasingly well-known in these days of the resurgent Feminine, he says:

Woman is the radiance of God, she is not
your beloved.  She is  the Creator — you
could say that she is not created.
(Masnavi, I:2437)

Has anyone else read Gene D. Matlock's Comparison of Ancient Indian

language and Hebrew.He wrote about this around the 17th/18th

century. He also talks about Sanskrit being the base language

of Hebrew and the language of Kashmir. when I find out more I will

post. The full title is 'Is there a connection between Ancient Indian

and Hebew'  by Gene D. Matlock.

I like the Syrian Goddess Astarte, always have, since I came home to Paganism 37 years ago.

Why does Humanity worship? I picked this group because I know

that this area pre-dates the west by millennium, While Europe was

in the throes of the last Ice Age the Middle/Near East had an advanced culture tied together with with each other by the Silk Road.

 Are/Is the Goddess/God a dream wish to better one self. By worship

do we create them. The Zohar states that an an Electron can exist's

simultaneously everywhere at once. So with this are we part of them

or they us. Or are they ambitions of what we can become, with an

opposing force trying to stop us. I do not Know.  Is worship a strivivg

to be. So by understanding this simple word, I can be on the same

page.      VERY CURIOUS

I have been interested in Middle Eastern Mythos since I read B.S.

Upadhyaya's  The Ancient World in '79, were the author introduced

me to the world of Acadia,Elam and the others.

In my journeys I am running into more and more Godess/Gods from

the Middle/Near East and would like to learn more.
