Creation Stories
“The trees are part of the Goddess’s erotic manifestation. The
central symbol of much of the ancient pagan cult in biblical Canaan
was the Ashera tree. The Ashera is the feminine earth goddess
erotically expressed in the image of the Ashera tree. In a wonderful
phrase of Keats, “Even as the trees that whisper round the temple
become soon as dear as the temple self.” For the pagan, the hills
were literally alive with the sound of music. Nature is the music of
divinity undressed to the human ear. Every hill, brook, tree, and
blade of grass was invested with its own divine muse.
