| The video rental store down the
street from you can be a valuable source of information about the Goddess
and how she relates to us in all phases of life. Listed below are some
of the movies that highlight a certain "Goddess Type" as well as some that
have different "Goddess Types" interacting with each other. I believe that
this may help you to see the Goddess more clearly as she relates to human
life. |
