Why does the CTG view the High Priestess and High Priest as equals?
We view the High Priestess and High Priest as being equal, mirroring the relationship of the Goddess and God in our cosmology. We are divorced from the modern dichotomy of superiority/inferiority, and realize that the true essence of spirituality lies within the achievememt of balance and the power that derives from its maintenance. It is this balance in the universe, exemplified by the Goddess and God, which we attempt to emulate in our practices. Finally, as befitting a Tradition with roots in family practice, both “parents” bear equal responsibility for their offspring, though the High Priestess is always granted pride of place in all coven matters.
