One can find the ancient rites at the Goddess Astarte, or Ishtar, at the temple of Mylitta in ancient Babylon, where every woman who desired to marry, would have to spend a night as a Sacred whore, donating the wages to the temple of the Goddess.

All over ancient Greece, Egypt, Syria, Phoenicia and other places the temples to Aphrodite, the Roman Venus, where well know for their Sacred Prostitutes where the sexual act was so common that the sexual encounter between woman and a man, and the ejaculation inside a woman's vagina was known as a Sacrifice to Venus Altar'

But do not believe the Goddess was circumscribe only to vaginal sex, there where temples also for Venus Callipygia a Greek word composed of calli, beauty, and pygia, buttocks!

The word Fellatrix come from the Roman Latin fellatus, to suck, yes, the Goddess again Venus Fellatrice...

But Rasa, history and knowledge about the ancient lore of the Goddess, it is fine an dandy, but what I think is more important for your Goddess church members is to posses a Ritual, that is True to the Goddess as much as to her parishioners...For what I gather just reading some of your followers in the church are pretty green, the church is still in formation, and lacks Ritual, and what is of more importance Liturgy, and Sacraments!

With due respect FEM-DOM as your group refer to it, still lacks all of the above, I mean; having a bunch of guys running naked in aprons cleaning your place, and serving you at your beck and call may be fun, but hardly can qualify as Sacred Ritual..!

The Mystical Union of the Feminine and the Masculine it is a Spiritual phenomena that occurs within our hearts, in the dimension of Spirit, granted, but in order to be manifested in the lower planes, the so called material world, or the world of the flesh, it is necessary to be represented as a Transfiguration and a Communion, as symbolically done in the offer of the Bread, and the Wine as the body of Christ in the Catholic church, and other Churches.

Now what is the problem with this form of Sacraments? It is that they belong to an old ossified, corrupt, totally discredited, and above all a Patriarchal Church with a similar way of thinking! Where the Goddess principal attribute, her Sacred Sexuality was mutilated, and proscribed as sinful!

There is no point to go in to the well known facts of the evils of Patriarchy, rather let's concentrate in what can be done to restore the Goddess to her rightful place!

In the very beginning of Christianity there where a group of churches and writings now considered Apocrypha from the Greek apokruphos, hidden, occult, considered outcast offshoots of Christianity, the Gnostics...

Many of this early christian churches practiced Sexual Matriarchal rites that where not only abolished and declared heretical, but wiped out merciless, by a clearly emerging intolerant and violent Patriarchal Orthodox church.

It is in this Gnostic's Rites and Sacraments that if you are serious about Goddess Worship you have to look in to...

IS RASA A TANTRIC GURU?

CONTRIBUTION FROM A NEW DEVOTEE

 

I HAVE NOT MET HER IN THE FLESH, BUT DID FEEL HER SHAKTI AFTER HAVING WRITTEN TO HER, AND HAD A DREAM OF HER AS WELL.. THE MAIN DIFFERANCE BETWEEN HER AND THE REST IS THAT

 

A. SHE IS A TANTRIC GURU.. NOT MANY OTHER TEACHERS HAVE TAKEN THEIR GEAR OFF AND SHOWN THEIR DEVOTEES HER NAKED FORM.. THATS VERY TANTRIC.. I HAVE FELT FROM HER A DEFINATE TRANSMISSION OF SHAKTI.. FROM HER PHOTOS.. NAKED OR CLOTHED..

 

AND B. SHE IS VERY MUCH ON THE BHAKTI WAY AS WELL, GREAT DEVOTION TO THE BELOVED.. BEHIND ALL PATHS THERE IS THE TANTRIC ASPECT, USUALLY HIDDEN, REVEALED IN THE DEVOTEES MEDITATIONS OR DREAMS.. OR SOMETIMES THRU WORD OF MOUTH.. THE ONLY WAY FOR ANYONE TO KNOW A GURUS DEPTH IS TO MEDITATE ON THEM AND SEE WHAT YOU GET.. IF YOU GET A BLISSFUL FEELING FROM THEM, THEN THERE IS SOMETHING THERE FOR YOU.. ON THE OTHER HAND EACH DEVOTEE HAS DIFFERANT LEVELS OF EVOLUTION AND RECEPTIVITY.. RASA WILL BE GREAT FOR SOME, BUT NOT MUCH FOR OTHERS, LIKE ALL GURUS.. THE REAL GURU AGAIN IS DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU, IN YOUR SILENCE. THE EXTERNAL GURU IS JUST A MIRROR OF YOURSELF, THERE REALLY IS NO DIFFERANCE.. AS RAMANA MAHARSHI SAID.. "THE EGO IS DELUDED INTO THINKING THE SELF, GURU AND THE WORLD IS EXTERNAL TO ITSELF,WHEN IN FACT ITS ALL INSIDE YOU.. REMOVE THE EGO AND ONLY GOD IS LEFT" SHAKTI
