Dianic WAS welcome (DanW)

[Guest guest]

Blessings,

 

In general, my experience is that Dianic groups focus on the Goddess

as the primary or sole Deity. Most groups are women only, I

understand that some groups are gender mixed and I have heard that

there are men only Dianic groups, but I haven't personally known of

any.

 

In the Dianic groups with which I have been acquainted or a part of

the identification of the participants was mixed though they did

seem to attract a higher percentage of lesbians, probably because

these women are more woman/female focussed in general.

 

As the Dianic practices with which I am familiar are not sexual in

nature there is no reason that a heterosexual woman would not take

up such a practice.

 

However, in other mainstream Wicca groups, in particular the

Gardnerian tradition, the liturgy does include references to the

Divine partnership between the Goddess and the God and this has

primacy in the mythology as important to energy, balance and the

creation of the universe etc. These groups can tend to be

overwhelmingly heterosexual, some require a gender balance for

ritual to take place. Non-heterosexuals sometimes find this off-

putting.

 

Hope this helps put things into perspective.

 

Namaste,
