Gabrielle is as justified as one of the worshipers of Dionysis in her opinion about marriage:-) The assumption that modern paganism is anything like ancient paganism does not hold water.

Our world, our lives, are so entirely different we can't begin to fathom what their faith really was and what role it played in the lives of pre-Christian pagans.<br/><br/>Maybe she was speaking of modern Paganism and how, for her, that does not mesh with an institution she sees as sexist. Many modern Pagan women feel the same and are not necessarily making a claim as to what role marriage had in the lives of our far removed ancestors.

Does she think that early Christians sat down and actually plotted a way for women to be controlled, and came up with marriage as that means? Please! What nonsense! <br/><br/>Our pagan and heathen ancestors married too. Brehon law even had several different grades of marriage.
