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?
