| ARTICLES RELATED TO Sky Father | | | |  Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - Mother goddess - Matriarchy and goddess historyMother 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 ...

| | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - Mother goddess - Olympian goddesses 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 ...

| | | | | Sky Father: 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 ...

| | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - Mother goddess - Mother goddess worship in Catholicism Some people consider Mary to be a "mother goddess", since she not only fulfills a maternal role but is often viewed as a protective force and divine intercessory for humanity. Protestants often accuse Catholics of viewing Mary as a goddess; Catholics deny it.
On a somewhat-related note, some Latter Day Saint denominations give reverence to, and (though rarely) worship, a Heavenly Mother.

| | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - Hindu views on God and gender - Shakti Shaktism, on the other hand, is a denomination of Hinduism that worships Shakti, or Devi Mata -- the Hindu name for the Great Divine Mother -- in all of her forms whilst not rejecting the importance of masculine and neuter divinity (which are however deemed to be inactive in the absence of the Shakti). In pure Shaktism, the Great Goddess, or Devi, is worshiped as nothing less than the highest divinity, Supreme Brahman Itself, the "one without a second," with all other forms of Divinity, female or m ...

| | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - Hindu views on God and gender - Vishnu and Shiva In Vaishnavism and Shaivism, which are exclusive monotheistic religions,like the Judaeo-Christian traditions, God, Vishnu or Shiva is personified as male when, in fact, God transcends gender and gender is simply used for embodied human beings to worship. For example, Shaivites and Vaishnavites worship God in non-anthrormorphic images, the linga and saligram respectively. Furthermore, for example, the principle that God's true nature is sexless is emphasized in the Vishnu sahasranama, a prayer reciting the 1000 names of Vishnu. Just as Muslim ...

| | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - Hindu views on God and gender - Ardhangini: the cornerstone of relationships The concept of Ardhangini, of women being an equal part of men and vice versa, and without either, both are incomplete, is extensively proliferated in Hindu society, especially the rituals of Hindu weddings.
While the bride must recognize her husband as her Lord, the husband is to appreciate the wife as the source of his position and strength as provider, protector of his household, which is essentialy and practically generated and maintained by his wife.
This relationship is theologically symbolized by the marriage of S ...

| | | | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - God and gender - Jewish views of God and gender In regard to translating Hebrew names of God into English, most Orthodox Jews and many Conservative Jews hold that it is wrong to use English female pronouns for God; their reason is not because God is of the male gender, but because doing so among English speakers tends to draw attention to God as having gender. Another reason is that the Hebrew Bible usually uses names of God that are grammatically masculine.
Among many Reconstructionist Jews and Reform Jews there has been an increasing tendency to stress feminine characteristics of ...

| | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - God and gender - Christian views of God and gender In Christianity, one Person of the Trinity, the Son, is believed to have become incarnate as a human male. Most Christians believe that the other Two Persons in the Trinity, the Father and the Holy Spirit, have never been incarnated.
Female terms for the Holy Spirit were used in some early Christian communities, specifically within the hymn book, entitled "Odes of Solomon". The Biblical Hebrew word for spirit is ruah, meaning wind, breath, inspiration; the noun is grammatically feminine. In the "Odes of Solomon"; the oldest sur ...

| | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - God and gender - Translating the names of God into English There are a number of ways that one can translate the names of God into English from Hebrew. The Tetragrammaton is composed of the Hebrew letters Yod-Heh-Waw-Heh. (If your web-browser supports a Hebrew font it is written thus: יהוה.)
In English the tetragrammaton is usually written as YHWH or YHVH. The original meaning of this form is connected with the "I AM" of Exodus 3:14 (and it probably contains a Hebrew masculine verb prefix). This word is usually rendered into English by translating Hebrew Adonai (instead of attempti ...

| | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - God and gender - Criticism of feminine reconstructions of theology Grammatically, most of the Hebrew names for God are masculine; a few are grammatically feminine; the grammatical form of words has no biological or literal significance. Many modern readers of the Bible, especially those influenced by 20th century feminism, often misread English translations of the Bible as literal translations of the Hebrew text; this leads to errors of understanding, as for grammatical reasons literal translations are not always possible. English does not have grammatical gender in nouns, but it does have gr ...

| | | | | Sky Father: Encyclopedia II - God and gender - God in the Hebrew Bible In the first book of the Hebrew Bible, Genesis 1:26, God states "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness....And God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Exactly what Genesis means by the word "image" is not clear, but there is an analogy being made between God and humans.
In some ways this passage is anthropomorphic; it is attributing human characteristics to God. However, less recognized is that the viewpoint of the Israelite biblical writers was the ...
