I was an agnostic for most of my life. One night, working through some 12-step stuff (specifically about accepting a higher power), the Goddess came visiting and my life-long depression just... lifted. My wife, who was there at the time, said the change in my affect was astounding.
Is she "real"? Or just my brain's way of imagining my connection to the world? Or something else? I don't know. I don't really care too much, although I think she is a part of me and vice-versa.
But I stick with the Goddess because she has a way of helping me think differently about the world, and for me, it makes all the difference. Your mileage may vary, etc.
