Goddess is all women, so if a guy wanted to put you on an altar, for you to be a goddess, and worship your body in touch, and pleasure, would you let him?
I don't like higher powers. Being a goddess would bother me. I'm no different for any other being, to be put on a pedestal and worshipped seems ridiculous to me.
nah, too creepy. I just wanna be equal to my partner, i don't want to become an idol. Worship means he's seeing me as something other than who I really am, and that's just not good.
how sad to hear that. To be reveared for your sacred feminine self isnt ridiculous, being Goddess makes you equal to such a higher power, therefore, its not a higher power at all, but an inner power. You are female, of the Divine Femine, giver of life, of course you should be worshipped for what you are. As to being equal, of course you are. That is the play of the Divine Masculine and Feminine, the worship each other for what they are, and that is the basis of such a beautiful balance.
yea i think it would be creepy and its like one of the people have all the power and it should be equal
humm.. I think it depends.. I would if I was in a passionate relationship with somone.. I would worship his body as much as he did mine. But if it were a stranger.. I would not even consider the option of worship.
Being wiccan I've done some breif skimming of wiccan rituallistic sex. In all of them, the worshipping is equal. The male represents the god, the female represents the goddess and in connecting body and soul represents the union of two halfs (just like yin and yang for example). A lot of it has to do with centralizing your sexual energy so that you mix your center ballance with the sexual feelings to combine halfway in your lower stomach. I've never tried any of it but it really sounds sentual, intense and rather romantically spiritual. I'd do it with the right person under the right circumstances but something as mixing something so religiously significant (to me) with sex with another person is just very personal and not something I'd do with just anyone.
Perhaps the way it was worded it sounded as though these worshippers would be beneath the woman socially... like slaves. I think everyone is saying that the worship should be shared, and that both the woman and the men that worship her should be equals socially - and the worship should be mutual. Actually... nah, nevermind... I'm full of shit... heh...
i would definately allow anyone to worship me as long as i could worship them back. i can totally see the sensuality and love in that.
Put down the Betty Friedan for a second, champ. I don't worship anything. Gender is just a seperation that makes dividing cells after you fuck easier. I respect women and men on a case by case basis, and a lot of women don't deserve respect, just like a lotta women don't. But I am very sexual, and there are some women who I'll respect every inch of their body with my tongue.
YES, and I'd demand plenty of chanting and incense, statues of me all around town, a weekly blood offering and two public ceremonies / binging parties in my honour every year.
Im kinda glad i decided to put this poll out. Some of the answers kind of sadden me, that people really dont see how sacred sex, and the sexes are, but its good to see various answers. Gives me an idea of where people stand. I agree with bits a pieces of almost everyones comments. SO i wanted to give my personal answer. I worship the Divine Feminine, I aspire to be the Divine Masculine. Of course i revear them both, but one is the inspiration to the other. My strength is inspired by my devotion and love for the Divine Feminine. But i wouldnt place just any woman on an altar, wanted to clarify that. Though i see Goddess as all women, i dont see Goddess IN all women, usually because of the way that individual woman behaves, same as i dont see God in all men. But when I do, i admire and respect them for what they are. As far as the actual worship, on an altar, with devotion to pleasure and love, there are only two that could fill that position for me. I believe it to be a very personal, loving and sacred act, so of course it is reserved for the most loved.
