I can't get over just how bad The Crone: Woman of Age, Wisdom, and Power is. It's just...she's so bitter. It seems like anything related to Christianity, men or being unfeminine is bad bad bad!

Crikey.

This bloodthirsty Son-killing or self-killing Father, who was one but also three; who professed to want good, but created evil; who pretended to love his mortal children while preparing for them a hell sadistic beyond belief; who ordained all things in advance, yet held humans entirely responsible for the errors he knew they would makel who talked of love and ruled by fear- this deity was hardly a product of rational minds.

Wtf, mate? Two paragraphs later:

Nonetheless, the women's spirituality movement has much to learn from close study of this God, created in the image of man, for he tells more about men than men can tell about themselves. This God and other violent gods created by men demonstrate the power of love cannot control men's lust to destroy their own species. It seems the only emotion that controls men effectively is fear.

Holy crap. *backs away slowly*

Hmmm...I think there's an ex-husband out there somewhere...

Put that piece of crap down now, before you start to lose brain cells. Have you tried Jstor for articles? They might have some stuff that's academic, and not based on evil feelings by some loony-ass Wiccan who has no historical background. Rrrrrrr, I hate it when people pass off their pseudo-historical bullshit theories about matriarchies as real evidence...

A possible lead...or something to make you feel a bit better anyway...

I totally agree with Numensule. Definately the writings of a woman scorned!
