I, too, am interested in a discussion of feminist spirituality.  More
specifically, I'm interested in the experiences of others, rather than
a debate about whether it's PC to worship goddesses, etc.  (Not to
denigrate those involved in that debate, this is simply where *my*
interest lies.)  I'm most interested in Native American myths and
practices, but would find most any feminist spirituality interesting.

My interest stems from the realization that to the extent that
our gods are both anthropomorphic and male, we've only got half-gods.
Whether we're male or female, I believe we stand to gain by somehow
extending our concept of deity to include both masculine and feminine.
