Goddess Religion

Goddess Pilgrimage is performed not out of duty but out of a more sacred purpose.  The follower ends up experiencing their body as sacred, themselves as divine. The Goddess religion is a lot about nature and wanting everything to be equal especially between the sexes. They also believe in circular views. In Goddess Pigrimage written by Kathryn Rountree she explains this pretty well it was somewhat of a difficult read but she did use the turner model to explain the pilgrimage that one takes who believes in the Goddess religion. She talks about how you get a “sense of being in a liminal otherworld connected to another time” and all the sisters that you meet on your pilgrimage become your new communitas. Using the turner model helped me to understand how this is not only a religion but also a pilgrimage.
