In Eqypt you see on the temple walls the Goddess Isis – with her hand out to the pharaoh. In her hand is the Goddess Ma’at who represents justice and truth. In that relief, the Pharaoh is given the right to rule through the God- dess, man is given the right to rule from a feminine face of God. She is saying you will rule only using Ma’at – truth and justice.
So those are examples of God- dess thealogy, showing us mod- els to live by today rather than what we’re experiencing now in our patriarchal system.
If you look at the myth of Perse- phone and Demeter which is about the strong bond between mothers and daughters - and we’re all mothers and daughters to a certain extent – that’s say- ing let’s have good relationships among women and stop the back biting and competition that pre- vents a nurturing environment for women to succeed. We should be happy for our sister’s successes. We need to be there, cheering her on.
Everyone brings their unique voice, and Karen tells women to not wait to do something until you can be perfect at it. There’s such a thing as on the job train- ing. Don’t think there’s someone out there who can do it better than you so you shouldn’t do it. We need all of us to bring our

ideas forward and act on it, just go out there and do it. Don’t hold yourself back because you’re afraid you’re not going to be good enough.
