Your new book, The Witch of Portobello, is critical to religion when doctrine is stronger than compassion and effort to serve. Did someone warn you against the eventual controversy caused by celebrating the Great Mother – or did you even warn yourself sometimes?
I always knew the potential for controversy in this book but I also thought that the feminine side of God is increasingly being recognized. People are no longer interested purely in religion, what matters now is personal faith. And you can see that this preoccupation is taking the lead in all nations despite the extremisms that, unfortunately, are more visible.
If you do not have faith in something – God /Buddha or spiritual stuff then – its like trying to turn on the electricity without any power ..More people are having Faith in the great mother which is wonderful ..I have not read this book yet The witch of Portobella ..but will get to it ..Blessings Tania

Religion doctrines hindered ones personal relationship with his Creator. Jesus emphasis of ones faith focuses of ones LOVE to his creator.In the Bible Wisdom is liken to a woman which is one of the quality of Our Creator. I do believe that the GREAT COMPASSION of GOD to Us is like a MOther’s LOve to her children.
Yesterday I noticed, Evil took many symbols to shuffle the cards.
Still the secret code is carved in our heart.
Yes, I can feel it’s increasing, as the opposite.
As in Dao the energy has to finally find its balance. Presently, the more there is repression, the more there is love.
That’s why now I’d like to share with you the sentence I received as a gift some days ago.
“We will match your capacity to inflict suffering with our capacity to endure suffering! We will meet your physical force with Soul Force! We will not hate you, and yet, we cannot in all good conscience obey your evil laws! Do to us what you will! Threaten our children, and we will still love you! Come into our homes at the midnight hours of life, and take us out on some desolate highway, and beat us, and leave us there, and we will still love you! Run all around the continent, send your literature and say that we aren’t worthy of integration, that we are too immoral, that we are too low, that we are too degraded, yet we will still love you! Bomb our homes and go by our churches early in the morning and bomb them if you please, and we will still love you! But we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer! In winning the victory, we will not only win our Freedom – we will so appeal to your heart and your conscience that we will win you in the process!’” Martin Luther King.
