The Great and Sovereign Mother Goddess

I found the below statements at Robin Artisson's blog Cauldron Born: Shamanic Mysteries of Britain and Northern Europe. I plan to make some detailed comments on the entire post as soon as I get the chance to do it justice. There are many things I agree with within the article and some that I don't. It should make for an interesting post.

For now here is an excerpt. If you have a moment I certainly recommend stopped by Cauldron Born and giving this post a read.

"Despite the very politically motivated over-simplifications that have
been worked into the field of Goddess studies by radical feminists
and other re-writers of history, there was and is a Great Goddess,
known and experienced by men and women since pre-history, who stands
behind the primordial spiritual expressions of all mankind, and even
in the modern day shadows of her can be glimpsed within the strict
confines of Judaism and Christianity. She was there in Classical
times, in every culture in some form or in many forms, and she has
been in every other era of the historical journey of Homo Sapiens.

I believe in the "Great Mother", as she has come to be called, for
many reasons. First and foremost among those reasons is the fact that
I have experienced her presence in this world and in myself, not that
I consider "me" and "this world" to be two radically different
things. Her worship is far from dead; from Neolithic times to now,
her worshippers in India and many other parts of the "native" world
(such as Native America and Australia and the Pacific Islands) have
never lost their connection to primal traditions of her worship.

India makes a good place to look for traditions of Goddess Worship
that never were savaged and suppressed by Christianity; studies of
the Great Goddess, the Shakti or the Mahadevi in India today are
excellent inspiration for proponents of European Goddess studies and
modern day worship. We can look with awe on the Indian Subcontinent
and at the ages-old worship of Goddesses whose names share linguistic
relationship to our own ancestors' Goddesses- Kali is the best
example; her name is derived from the Proto-Indo European *KOL and
the constructed proto-name KOLYO, referring to the "Hidden" or
Concealed Goddess, the "Old Veiled One" who acts as a great mother/
earth mother behind more than one pantheon, and as Goddess of the
dead, the underworld, fierceness, and darkness. Cailleach would be
her equivalent in Irish Celtic Paganism.

It is not my purpose with this article to attack the claims of the
radical feminists and all of their personal, intellectual, and
political imbalances; suffice it to say that reacting against male-
dominated spiritual and religious politics by simply switching "God"
from a supreme male being to a supreme female one will never solve
the problems of gender imbalance in spirituality or in modern society."
