The Mother of my theology is a chief Female Deity that resides in heaven with God the Father, and they are married, coequal rulers of heaven, and they share rule over that part of the universe that is good spiritually and morally.
The Mother is not coterminous with Mother Earth.
Mother Earth, if worshipped by practitioners of black magic and dark religion, is coterminous with Lera.
Worshippers of Mother Earth, if practitioners of white magic and benevolent religion, are actually followers of the Mother.
The Mother and the Father put us in charge of ruling nature, animals, plants--the whole planet. We are in charge and things and beings on earth exist for our use and benefit--with three qualifiers. First, we only take what we need. We do not waste. Second, we repair and return to its original wild state, whenever possible and to the extent possible, if we have deforested a mountain top, done strip mining, etc.
Third, we kill animals and plants for food or beauty or sport, but never out of kill lust, for wanton bloodletting or without regard to maintaining sustainable breeding populations. We do not want any species to go extinct if we can help it, or the cost is not too severe.
We have our human realm, and are reasonably green, bu it cannot be too burdensome a commitment in cost, time, reducing or standard of living or our access to precious resources. Common sense ecology is voluntary but doable.
