Here's a good point. I agree with you to an extent, however, although I may be worshipping 'something' when I admire the landscape, to me it is NOT the Goddess. It is a huge round (ish) lump of rock hurtling through space and time.
It's like Muslims, Jews and Christians effectively worshipping the same desert god, but not being able to agree on its name or history.
I am affraid I do not believe in the existance of a single monotheistic female god entity. There possibly was a mother goddess, but if all the 'pseudo-temples' (or proto-temples) that are stone circles are astronomical then surely the heavens and there for Sol (a male life giving god) was more important ... or was it just as important? We will never know and pretending that we do is totally mad.
You today might believe in a mother Goddess, and that is fine, just don't pretend that this links you to our ancestors becuase you worship the same being/entity .... because you don't and you never can.
