In general, the Heavenly Mother doctrine "is a shadowy and elusive one floating around the edges of Mormon consciousness". (Wilcox at 64.) Though widely held by Mormons, the doctrine is not advertised by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some Mormon apologetics, however, have attempted to elaborate on the doctrine, in party, by borrowing from early Hebrew theology, which arguably included a Hebrew goddess, the consort of Yahweh, variously named Asher ...

The doctrine of the Heavenly Mother is attributed to Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, who soon before his death in 1844 outlined a revolutionary and controversial view of God that differed dramatically from the modern Christian consensus. See King Follett Discourse; Smith (1844). Smith's new doctrine included the belief that men and women can become gods and goddesses in the afterlife by following church practices (see Exalt ...

Mother Nature The productive and generative powers of cosmic spirit, considered from the human standpoint as a feminine agent in universal nature, and hence often called the Great Mother, the Immaculate Virgin, space, the cosmic deep, mula-maya or root-maya, etc.

The first stage of manifestation is the representation of the plain or empty disk, cosmic infinitude; the second stage is the First Logos or the disk with the central point; and the third stage, to which Mother Nature refers, is the disk with the horizontal diameter, or the Second or Manifest-Unmanifest Logos.

Psychologist Bruno Bettelheim and other mental health professionals championed the notion autism was the product of mothers who were cold, distant and rejecting, thus deprived of the chance to 'bond properly'. The theory was embraced by the medical establishment and went largely unchallenged into the mid-1960's, but its effects have lingered into the 21st century. As early as 1943, Leo Kanner, who first identified autism, called attention to what appeared to him as a lack of parental warmth and attachment among the mothers of autistic ...

In rare cases, the king of a nation may be divorced or a widower. If he remarries, and his second wife outlives him, but is not the mother of his successor, it is unclear what title this woman assumes, though Queen Dowager or Dowager Queen might be appropriate, in the circumstances. Queen Noor of Jordan for example was King Hussein's fourth wife, and stepmother of current king Abdullah II. She is still referred to as Queen Noor, although rarely, and then inaccurately, as the "Queen Mother". If anything, she would be the Queen Dowager, altho ...

In the Aegean, Anatolian, and ancient Near Eastern culture zones, a Mother Goddess was worshipped in the forms of Cybele (revered in Rome as Magna Mater, the 'Great Mother'), of Gaia, and of Rhea. The Olympian goddesses of classical Greece had many characters with mother goddess attributes, including Hera, Demeter and Athena. In Minoan Crete one of her aspects was the Mistress of the Animals (Potnia Theron) who some say devolved into the huntress Artemis; the archaic Artemis of many breasts ...

From its first issue in February 1976, Mother Jones has focused on investigative stories that are underreported by the mainstream media. The magazine devoted extensive coverage to the underpinnings of the Iraq war - from the small group that laid the groundwork for an invasion during the 1970s oil crisis to the Office of Special Plans, the group the George W. Bush administration set up within the Pentagon to make the case for invading Iraq through carefully selecting and manipulating intelligence reports. Another cover story detailed how the war in Iraq has fueled anti-American sentiments around the ...

Around the end of the tour schedule for Scenery and Fish, IME shocked many fans and reporters when it announced that Edwin would be leaving the band. From that point, it was mentioned that Jag Tanna wrote the majority of the band's music (while jamming with his brother and Gordon), that Chris Tanna wrote all of the lyrics, and that Edwin was merely there to sing. This and the usual "musical differences" proved to be sore spots for the vocalist. Citing unmanageable tension, the band "mutually" agreed to part ways with Edwin. The remain ...

In all three games, Mother Brain is defended by Zeebetites, life support units that block Samus' path. Mother Brain is defeated by first breaking its tank with missiles, and then pummeling the brain itself. In Super Metroid, the cyborg has an ace up its sleeve: after the destruction of the tank, Mother Brain is revealed to be part of a large, bipedal creature, with a range of powerful attacks. In each game, Mother Brain's apparent destruction initiates a self-destruct device, giving the player only a few minutes to escap ...

John Shuttleworth and Jane Shuttleworth started the magazine "on a shoestring" budget of $1500, published from home in 1970.[1] The first issue was published in January of that year. The magazine was originally published in North Madison, Ohio and moved to Hendersonville, North Carolina later. It had a scrappy, no-frills style and appearance throughout the 1970s. Mother Earth News embraced the revived interest in the back to the land movement at the beginning of the 1970s, and combined this with an interest in the ecology movem ...
