For info on the Gnostic gospels I highly recommend Elaine Pagel's classic book on the- simply titled The Gnostic Gopels. Some of the Gnostic gospels refer to an original Mother goddess, and that Yaweh was jealous of her.
I flirted with a sort of feminist Gnostic Chritianity from age 13-15, then was sort of "new-agey" minus the guru worshipping from 15-17, Then at 17 I finally discovered Paganism and found my spiritual home. (My mother was a liberal Southern Baptist and my dad was Agnostic, so individualism and personal questing for spirituality was a natural thing in my household.) At 19 I found my path within Paganism, as a skeptical solitary eclectic Wicca. That's been my path for 23 years now.
