The Goddess of Truth and Justice

1/29/2018

0 Comments

 
​Ma'at is the #ancient #Egyptian #Goddess of #Truth and #Justice, the two principles that drive peace, stability, and wholesome human interaction. On Judgement Day, the feather in her headband is weighed against the heart of the deceased in the underworld. If the heart is heavier, the soul cannot return to Earth. If it is a light as the feather, the soul can pass on to heaven to shine as a star in the sky. Pretty cool!
I guess some lessons never quite get learned!

The Great Re-cycler

1/23/2018

0 Comments

 
This priestess raises her perfect hands to the heavens, releasing the souls of the dead, represented by the doves in her crown. Her bird face and long neck as well as the 13- moon crown reveal that she is The Goddess herself.

The bird is the symbol of the goddess, as it reflects many of her gifts and qualities. Like birds, the goddess inhabits all realms; in the ground, in the water, in the air. And like the bird, she can ascend to the heavens. But most importantly, the bird is twice born; once as an egg and once as a chick. And the goddess too is the generator of  the life cycle; birth,  death, and re-birth.

She is The Great Re-cycler.  Crete; clay, 1300BC

Why is this Goddess wearing a comb around her neck? Bad hair day?

Maybe; but a comb is a sign of caring, protection, and abundance, and evidence of the presence of the Goddess. It is so powerful as an amulet, that it has survived to this day, 6000 years later where in some villages in Yugoslavia a comb is still worn as a amulet of protection.

Grain Goddess

This 10,000 year old clay goddess was found in a grain bin at the oldest known human settlement of Catal Huyuk in Turkey.
She has a powerful pregnant body, and that may be a baby’s head appearing between her legs.. She sits on a throne with leopard arm rests., drawing powerful, ferocious cat energy for the birthing process. And the presence of the cat attests to the presence of the Goddess as well.
Can you imagine your hands resting on two panthers, and the incredible feline charge flowing through you? No wonder! The cat is a sacred animal of the Goddess.

The Uterine Goddess

This Neolithic Goddess is found throughout many parts of the world. She’s charming and joyful, but why are her arms looped in such an unusual way, you must be wondering?
 
This Goddess resembles the shape of the uterus and fallopian tubes! Our hunter-gatherer ancestors were in awe of the ability of the female to create new life from her own body. And they were very familiar with anatomy, as they were constantly cutting up animals for food. So. this shape is a testament to the sacred power of the feminine, as well as the joy of creation itself!
 
What feelings does this goddess convey to you? Let me know what you think.

The Sleeping Goddess

This voluptuous goddess comes from the ancient civilization of  Malta, which some believe goes back to over 10,000 BC. Her strongest feature is her voluminous hips and thighs, which speak of abundance, gestation, birth. In addition she is sleeping. Putting the two aspects together, it appears that she is a goddess of dream-healing, which was practiced in many early civilization through dream temples.. At ancient Pergamon (Greek city in modern Turkey) there is a dream temple complete with a dream room, where supplicants spent the night with dream priests. Then they “birthed” down a long corridor  lined with portals from which priests sent messages or healing scents to the dreamer. When the dreamer exited from the tunnel, he was “re-born.”
 
Have you had healing dreams? I would love to hear about them.

The Great Creatix

​ 
This goddess is entirely made of eggs, revealing that the ancient ones saw the Divine Feminine as the Great Creative Force in the Universe- the source of life, of abundance, of creation. For many people today, the modern idea of God is a masculine being, who can be a loving one, but can also be angry and punishing. However, the original concept of God has been Feminine from the time of the hunter-gatherers.
 
What changed? What caused such a dramatic split?  Can you guess? In my estimation, it was a cataclysmic event, or several of them. But that will wait for a future posting!

The Aecheulean Goddess

​ 
This is the very oldest goddess found so far. She is from the west Bank from 200,00- 800,000 BC! Wow! Imagine!  The Creatrix has been with us forever!
She has a vagina, breasts, and arms. And most interestingly, her head resembles a penis. Which brings to mind, that ancient cultures don’t exhibit the polarity of sexes that distinguishes ours, but  instead they exhibit a melding of male and female as one whole!  Whole and wholesome!
 
wow! who knew?
 
What feelings does our little goddess bring up for you? let me know.

The Great Creator Mother Goddess

​Venus of Willendorf from 40,000Bc in Germany is the image of the Great Creator Mother Goddess. But she is not the image of a real woman, she represents and Idea our ancestors expressed about the Creative Force of the Universe. And that force is the Divine Feminine.
 
Full, round, egg-shaped with a pregnant belly, ripe breasts, full thighs she is the essence of abundance, creativity, and nurture. Small hands and no feet indicate that doing and moving are not her focus. Nor is she a portrait, for there is no face. And that is the key to understanding this mysterious creation. Her head is a bee hive, sacred symbol of the Goddesss; for the bee hive represents  community , with all members working together to raise and nurture the young for the prosperity of the tribe.And let’s not forget that the community creates the greatest sweetness- honey!
 
There is one more feature to consider- her stunning ochre color. But I leave that to you to interpret. For this may be her most important aspect; the one that makes the Goddess so very powerful! What do you think it might represent?
 
Please let me know what you think!

Goddess Toys

These delightful little goddesses are actually children’s  toys from Catal Huyuk in Southern Turkey, the earliest known human settlement from 8,000 BC.
 
Imagine being a child and playing with these smooth shapely stone figures! How good they would feel in your hand and how powerful! You might immediately feel a magical connection to the feminine creative force that grows flowers and seeds and gives birth to animals and humans.
 
Toys are a window to the psyche and values of any group of humans. What mindset do these toys create for you?
 
Now imagine holding a Barbie doll, and what does that doll tell us about ourselves? Does she empower us women, or diminish us? (Don’t let the Superwoman logo fool you.)
 
Let me know. I would love to hear from you.
