Goddess Theocracy

Goddess Theocracy is a type of theocracy that focuses on the worship of Female Gods - also called a Goddess (if Monotheistic) or Goddesses (if Polytheistic). The Goddess Movement refers to a spiritual, feminist, and cultural movement that seeks to re-establish the worship of goddesses and the divine feminine. This movement is characterized by a belief in the balance between the masculine and feminine principles and the importance of nurturing and life-giving aspects of the divine. It also emphasizes the celebration of the female form and female strength and seeks to challenge the patriarchal values that have dominated many societies. As a modern movement, it started, formalized, and organized itself in the 1970's, at the height of the Second Wave Feminism.

History
The Goddess Movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as part of the second wave of feminism. It was influenced by a growing interest in the study of ancient religions and the role of women in early societies. Many women began to reject the patriarchal values of traditional religions and sought to explore alternative spiritual paths that emphasized the divine feminine.

The movement gained momentum in the 1980s, with the publication of books such as "The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk and "The Great Cosmic Mother" by Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor. These works helped to popularize the idea of the goddess as a symbol of female power and spirituality.

In the 1990s, the movement diversified and expanded, with the formation of various organizations and communities dedicated to the worship of the goddess. These groups included Wiccan and Pagan communities, as well as feminist and new age groups.

Today, the Goddess Movement continues to evolve, with a growing emphasis on environmentalism, social justice, and the intersectionality of gender and other forms of oppression. It remains a significant force in contemporary spirituality and feminist thought.
