PHYLLIS CUROTT's BOOK OF SHADOWS, quoting "Maia" page 184
"Virgin actually meant a woman unto herself, not a woman who had never had sex. It meant a woman who was self-defined, to defined by her relationship to a man. Even Aphrodite, a goddess of love, was virginal - each year she bathed in the waters by her temple in Cyprus to cleanse herself of the influence of men and restore her autonomy."
Found this book on the shelf at the library. It's circa 1998 and Phyllis Currott is a self proclaimed a Wiccan High Priestess.
