Upon these cultural foundations,\u00a0they\u00a0are working to build a religion that these ancient people would appreciate and understand yet one which has depth and power for modern people. They seek to\u00a0developing genuine skills in composition and presentation in the musical, dramatic, graphic, textile and other arts. They bring\u00a0together people trained in ritual, psychic skills and applied mythology to bring the remnants of the old ways to life, and to create a nonsexist, non-racist, organic, flexible and publicly available religion to practice as a way of life and to hand on to future generations.<\/span><\/p>\nCoG \u2013 Covenant of the Goddess<\/a> (USA)<\/h3>\nThe Covenant of the Goddess is one of the largest and oldest Wiccan religious organizations.
