The symbol of the Goddess in Wicca and Pagan traditions are extremely powerful. Every symbol in the Wicca religion relates to the Goddess or the God in its meaning. The practice of the Pagan & Wicca religion is to honor the Goddess in all her forms of Maiden, Mother & Crone. The spiritual symbols of any religion are an integral part of the meaning of the practice. The symbol of the Goddess is the Divine Herself. In Wicca Spirituality we celebrate the Goddess and the symbols of her remind us of our core belief.
Part of the beauty of the Wiccan and Pagan Spiritual beliefs is turning towards the feminine and away from a patriarchal deity. The feminine and masculine God & Goddess are both honored in Wiccan & Pagan belief systems. The combined spirit of both are found in each of us. Traditional religions that only worship the masculine leave out half of our being and more importantly the spiritual aspects. Wiccan & Pagan Religions honor the divinity with in us that is our spiritual being as well as appreciating the masculine aspects of who we are. We embody both the God and the Goddess.
Popular culture today has borrowed the word "Goddess" and aspects of what she represents. We are once again learning to celebrate women. It is a reminder to honor our sacred feminine. Most of all it is a reminder to ourselves to appreciate the Goddess with in each of us as beautiful inside as well as out, talented, intelligent and feminine. The word Goddess carries the message to women that they are divine beings who are strong and powerful in their femininity.
To my mind this movement is a catalyst to move women back to their true powerful nature, to be more than what society would cast us as. We are all spiritual beings. We are Amazing and we need to never again forget that.
