question on the Goddess

[hadassah]

I have a question about the Goddess. Is there such thing as Spiritual breastfeeding with the Goddess.

In Christianity its communion but is there anything kinda like communion with the Goddess but refer more as child birth and breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding seems to be a really good comparison to communion only it sounds more personal and closs then the thought of drinking blood.

Wow, I'm kind of at a loss as to how I should answer this one. "Spiritual breastfeeding" is something that I've never personally come across.

For Wiccans something such as communion really isn't necessary as Wiccans few all people as being Divine. Meaning that we all are a part of the Divine, therefore we wouldn't have to take part in something such as communion - as that would infer that the Divine is something totally seperate from ourselves.

[hadassah]

I see. Even in Christianity we sere ourselves as apart of Jesus his body. It is intersting to compare different religions with each other.

At the same time, anything can be a ritual. Viewing your breastmilk as a part of the Divine would seem to strengthen the bond between mother and child. After all, you are nourishing your child, and that is a very beautiful thing.

[hadassah]

Yes I agree. I don't know why all mothers do not breastfeed. I can understand in siturations when the mother is sick.

While Wiccan's commonly think that they are ALWAYS taking part with the God/dess I guess the CLOSEST thing to what you are speaking about would be drinking from the chalice? My coven often will pass around a chalice and each will drink from it before we start our meditations or rituals.

But other than that, I would say no. Wicca doesn't have a "Spiritual breastfeeding." .... I'm not even sure how to address that...
