“When women learn to see the world as it truly is, without prejudice, and apply their skills of ‘women’s work’ to cleaning up the mess and choosing what will live and what will die, they manifest the Great Goddess in both her destructive and her nurturing aspects. No one who comes face to face with the totality of her power leaves unscathed.”
