Goddess Worship
The modern practice of goddess worship is very common among people
of all backgrounds, ethnic groups, denominations and nations. In
India and elsewhere, goddesses are worshipped directly by Hindus
and their sub cults, Tibetians worship goddesses under various formations,
even in America and Western Europe is goddess worship growing rapidly.
The worship of goddesses has been visible since time immemorial.
Many believe that the Cro-Magnon man worshipped female deities and
that this custom soon re-emerged in ancient Babylon. Through ancient
times goddess worship was prevalent in the Middle East, India and
the Orient (such as in Tibet). Later, goddesses were worshipped
all around Europe, adored in ancient and medieval mythologies. The
Goddess has been called by many names by different cultures and
ages: Anat, Aphrodite, Artemis, Astarte, Brighid, Ceres, Demeter,
Diana, Eostre, Freyja, Gaia, Hera, Ishtar, Isis, Juno, Kali, Minerva,
Persephone, Venus, Vesta, etc. Yet, we are talking about one
goddess here, revealed by many names. |
