    Marion Zimmer Bradley
    “The two are one,' said the Merlin, sitting very erect, 'but the followers of Christ have chosen to say, not that they shall have no other Gods before their God, but that there is no other God save for their God; that he alone made the world, that he rules it alone, that he alone made the stars and the whole of creation.'
    Igraine quickly made the holy sign against blasphemy.
    'But that cannot be,' she insisted. 'No single God can rule all things … and what of the Goddess? What of the Mother...?'
    'They believe,' said Viviane, in her smooth low voice, 'that there is no Goddess; for the principle of woman, so they say, is the principle of all evil; through woman, so they say, Evil entered this world; there is some fantastic Jewish tale about an apple and a snake.”
