We shall be presenting pages about the various goddesses of history: but this has nothing to do with what some patriarchal religions call "polytheism". There is only one Absolute, only one Creatrix: only one Celestial Mother. And yet, through the Ages, She has been known by many Names.

These many names are not simply the accidents of different languages, but the expression of the Multiplicity-in-Unity of She Who is the Source of all things, the Divine Mother of the universe. Thus the Hindus recite the thousand names of the goddess Lalita or the 108 names of Sri Mahalakshmi; the Chinese speak of Quan Yin as "the Lady of ten thousand names" and the goddess Isis said to Apuleius in the second century AD:

I am she that is the natural Mother of all creation, the Mistress and Governess of all the Elements, the initial Progenitrix of all things... my name, my divinity, is adored throughout all the world in various manners, by various customs and under many names...

There is one Mother God, for She is the Absolute, and there can no more be two Absolutes than a circle can have two centres. And yet She has many Names and many faces, representing Her infinite fecundity and the multiplicity of her Divine Powers and Graces.

Her different Names and Forms also correspond to the different characters of the souls She has created. Each of us will respond to a particular aspect of our dear Mother. If we are of an intellectual turn of mind, we may turn to Her as the goddess Athene, Metis or Saraswati. If we our hearts burn with love, divine and human and the appreciation of Deity through the Divine Beauty, we may turn to the goddess Aphrodite or Sri Lakshmi.

In these Goddess Names and Forms, we shall see not merely historical cults long dead, nor merely aspects of our own psychology, but aspects of the Grace and Love of our Mother God.

Please play the kinema below for an introduction to Her faith.

Eastern images of our Celestial Mother often have many arms, and the arms of a mother are made to embrace her children.

Whichever of Her faces, whichever of Her Names, whichever of Her loving arms we turn to, they are there for our comfort, our succour and our salvation.

We welcome you to this Chapel and hope that we can play some small part in lighting your path back home to our Mother God.
