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 ...

| | | | Mother goddess - Celtic goddesses: Encyclopedia II - Mother goddess - Matriarchy and goddess history Mother goddesses have been revered in many societies, though James Frazer (author of The Golden Bough) and those he influenced (like Robert Graves and Marija Gimbutas) advanced the theory that all European and Aegean mother goddess worship had originated in Pre-Indo-European neolithic matriarchies. This has been discounted by modern scholars, most notably by Peter Ucko [1]. The actual cultural and religious context of neolithic figures like the Venus of Willendorf has not been established. Some authors believe they were intended to re ...

| | | | Mother goddess - Celtic goddesses: Encyclopedia II - Mother goddess - Shaktism This form of Hinduism, known as Shaktism, is strongly associated with Vedanta, Samkhya and Tantra Hindu philosophies and is ultimately monist, though there is a rich tradition of Bhakti yoga associated with it. The feminine energy (Shakti) is considered to be the motive force behind all action and existence in the phenomenal cosmos in Hinduism. The cosmos itself is Brahman, the concept of the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality that is the Divine Ground of all being, the "world soul". Masculine potentiality is actualized by feminine dynamism, embodied in multitudinous godd ...

| | |  Mother goddess - Celtic goddesses: January 31 - February Eve -
ImbolcJanuary 31 - February Eve - Imbolc Actually, this holiday is most usually celebrated beginning at sundown on February 1, continuing through the day of February 2. 'Imbolc' means 'in the belly (of the Mother)' because that is where seeds are beginning to stir. It is Spring. Another name for the holiday is 'Oimelc', meaning 'milk of ewes', since it is lambing season. It was especially sacred to the Celtic Fire Goddess, Brigit, patron of smithcraft, healing (midwifery), and poetry. A Coven's High Priestess may wear a crown of lights (candles) to symbolize the return of the Goddess to her Maiden aspect, just as the Sun God has reached puberty. Weather lore associated with this sabbat is retained by the folk holiday of 'Groundhog's Day'. The Christian religion adopted a number of these themes, as follows. February 1 became 'St. Brigit's Day', and February 2 became 'Candlemas', the day to make and bless candles for the liturgical year. The 'Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary' adapts the Maiden Goddess theme. The alternative date of February 14 ( 'Old Candlemas', Christianized as 'Valentine's Day') is employed by some Covens. Read more here: » Wiccan Holidays: January 31 - February Eve -

Goddess - Hinduism.
Hinduism is a complex of various belief systems that sees many gods and goddesses as being representative of and/or emanative from a single source, Brahman, understood either as a formless, infinite, impersonal monad in the Advaita tradition or as a dual God in the form of Lakshmi-Vishnu, Radha-Krishna, Devi-Shiva in Dvaita traditions. Shaktas, worshippers of the Goddess, equate this God with Devi, the mother goddess. Such aspects of One God as male God (Shaktiman) and female energy (Shakti), ...

| | | | Mother goddess - Celtic goddesses: Encyclopedia II - Danu Irish goddess - Antiquity of her Recognition Based on the evidence of place-names, such as the river Danube (Latin: Danuvius), Dniestr, Dneipr and Don, she may have been worshipped throughout the Celtic and possibly Indo-European world. Indeed, the presence of a goddess named Danu in Indian Mythology, associated with water and mother of a race of Asuras called the Danavas, may indicate a very ancient Indo-European origin for this figure. The name *dhanu seems to have originally meant "swift".
In Irish celt lore, Danu is the supreme mother goddess. She is depicted, usually, with ...
