女神并不是遥远星辰中或超越死亡的外在力量，而是此时此地且活着。在哲学家玛丽·戴利的主动创造概念中，她是一个动词而不是“无”，是女性的存在。由于女神是我们内心和周围的每个人，神性和创造的力量既是个人的又是所有人共享的。她有能力让女性的生活如女性所愿。对于租户“你是女神”来说，自由选择是一个中心问题；女性对自己的身份和行为负责，不是带着责备或内疚，而是对自己的行为和选择负责。
(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.)
