Ancient goddess mythology

Question

Why do you think goddess mythology is relevant for modern woman and why?

I just started studying this and find is so fascinating and am looking at other peoples point of views.

Thank you

Answer 1

Of course I do.  Just as we all have different roles in our daily lives, the various aspects of the Goddess can help strengthen us in those roles.  We are daughters, sisters, mothers, lovers, wives, and so much more that we can use the powerful aspects of the Goddesses to help us.  You might want to read Goddess Path by Monaghan.

Answer 2

It really was only a matter of time before Goddess reappeared. The patriarchal religions of the world have failed. There isn't and never was any balance. Women (and men) are relearning the fact that we don't need an intermediary to spiritually connect with deity nor is the divine solely male.

Answer 3

She brings balance to all who hear her.  We need her in our lives. We are now coming to the age when people are reeducating themselves in spirituality.  Its a wonderful thing.  There are also many other goddesses you would be interested in hearing about as well.  Keep going and enjoy the adventure.  Good Luck and Many Blessings  

Answer 4

The most ancient goddess is the Earth goddess, or Earth Mother.

Ancient burial mounds and Kergans symbolize her womb into which the dead were placed for rebirth.

Most mounds has a standing stone outside the entrance, a phallic image for a new conception.

Some mounds also had a smaller standing stone just inside the entrance, a clitoric image also to help rebirth along.

Even in Greek Mythology, Plato (in Timaeus 40) states that Earth (Ge or Gaia) was the first and oldest of the gods. He calls her the Demiurgos (creator or worker).
