All nations have recognized, honored and worshipped the maternal principle in nature. All their exoteric religions have personified it as a Goddess, an archangel mother of universes, races, nations and humans. Thus I have come to believe, even to know, that there is such a wondrous and glorious Being on our earth as the World Mother, that she is very near to human mothers during pregnancy and at the time of birth. I have also learned that she ever seeks human agents and human helpers who will serve in her name and endeavor to live in her presence. While women especially represent her, she also needs men of honor to be her knights, ever ready to fight for the weak and the exploited and to guard with knightly loyalty all women and children, as true knights should.
