Bad, Good, or Misunderstood: The Dangerous Goddess in Modern Paganism
Can a fertility goddess be vengeful? Would a death goddess offer comfort? Contemporary goddess worship is quick to label goddesses as “dark” or “light,” without considering the context of the era from which they originated. The legacy of mainstream religions has left many modern Pagan struggling with the identity of what a Goddess could be, and restricted the potential for that Goddess to enhance their life.
By looking at powerful contradictions within Brigid, Hekate, and The Morrigan, we will explore the “scarier” parts of these three goddesses in context, and discuss the importance of accepting uncomfortable aspects of goddesses, as well as their reflections in our communities and ourselves.
