The Virgin Birth in the Western Tradition

There are women today who say that the spirit of the goddess has been in exile for 5,000 years. She was a very potent figure in Hellenistic times in the Mediterranean. And she came back with the Virgin in the Roman Catholic tradition. I mean, you don't have a tradition with the goddess celebrated any more beautifully and marvellously than in 12th and 13th century French cathedrals.
