I heard this same thing back in 1978,
and it had nothing to do with Paganism.
It was lesbian separatist politics
making use of folklore and literary
theory for inspiration. When I very
occasionally run across similar
assertions now coming from Dianic
groups, it seems clear that the politics
found/created a spiritual expression
that made sense to it.
