To return to the history:
They began at once to plan and built for their children, all
the strength and intelligence of the whole of them devoted to
that one thing. Each girl, of course, was reared in full knowledge
of her Crowning Office, and they had, even then, very high ideas
of the molding powers of the mother, as well as those of education.
Such high ideals as they had! Beauty, Health, Strength,
Intellect, Goodness--for those they prayed and worked.
They had no enemies; they themselves were all sisters and friends.
The land was fair before them, and a great future began to form itself
in their minds.
The religion they had to begin with was much like that of old
Greece--a number of gods and goddesses; but they lost all interest
in deities of war and plunder, and gradually centered on their
Mother Goddess altogether. Then, as they grew more intelligent,
this had turned into a sort of Maternal Pantheism.
Here was Mother Earth, bearing fruit.
