My Understanding of God and Goddess

I received this inspiration about a month ago, and now seems like an appropriate time to share it with you.

It was the middle of 2011 when I sought a better understanding of the Goddess. Having most of this existence subjected by a God, I had a fair enough understanding of rules.  After my reawakening began in 2010, the time had come to understand the Goddess.

The God and Goddess are not limited to the sex of humans. It is more of a balance of both within our lives. Where God is represented by Law, the Goddess is represented by Forgiveness. Whereby the God is represented by rules and the Goddess is represented by understanding. One has no meaning without the other. Law and rules are hollow without Forgiveness and understanding. Also, Forgiveness and understanding lack purpose without Law and rules.

Now lets apply these ideals to religion. Having a parental upbringing in a book religion, I experienced a God as the masculine and a church as the feminine. Given this, their church should only be capable of forgiveness and understanding. Yet their God demands control of forgiveness while their church has a history of imposing rules. That now seems to be a backward and confusing faith.

Regarding clans and covens, I have still witnessed many times either a Priest or Priestess and seldom both. Given the whole basis of human history, it has taken both Men and Women to continue the race of humans. By example, human history has proven the need for the energies of both Men and Women. By structural design, common sense also suggests a better combined leadership with a Priest and Priestess and their combined energies. The goal would then be to demonstrate the strength of both by example with the hope to better instruct our future instructors.
