The goddess is not an out-there force among the far stars or beyond death, but is here and now and living. In philosopher Mary Daly's concept of active creation, she is a verb rather than none and is women's Be-ing. Since the goddess is everyone within and all around us, the powers of divinity and creation are both individual and shared by all. She is the power to make of women's lives what women will. With the tenant, "Thou Art Goddess", free of choice is a central issue; women take charge of who they are and what they do, not with blame or guilt, but with responsibility for their actions and choices.

The concept of the goddess is redefined, presenting her not as a distant celestial being but as an immediate presence in our lives. According to philosopher Mary Daly, the goddess embodies active creation, representing the essence of 'being' for women. This means that the divine is inherent in all individuals and their surroundings, encouraging the belief that every woman possesses the power of creation and can shape her own life.
