Yang about Yin

On one of the lists I belong to, someone was lamenting the fact that many times people pay so much attention to the Goddess these days that the God gets short shrift. This person is Wiccan and speaking to other pagans (I assume). While I don't label myself pagan (or anything else for that matter) but I do unabashedly grok the goddess energy that seems to be all around us these days. I am now and always have been all about the girls.

That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate masculine energy. In my life, I am a romance writer, partially because I wanted to write about health love and men and women that were flawed but not less lovable because of it. However, I also recognize that masculine energy, or rather an overabundance of masculine energy has been the chief cause of quite a variety of things wrong with the world. It's not that testosterone is bad, estrogen good, but any system out of balance is bound to get itself into trouble. I think that was the poster's point.

However, I think we need to give the Goddess some extra time now to let more of her energy have a chance to spread as a form of spiritual affirmative action. When it's time, the pendulum will swing back toward the middle. If we're lucky we'll figure out how to keep the balance by then.
