The Mother Goddess has been a powerful figure throughout most of human history. This symbol is unquestionably the most persistent feature in the archaeological record throughout the entire ancient world. This makes the Mother Goddess a supremely important figure that is vastly overlooked today. All of the major female goddesses are covered, including Aphrodite, Rhea, Athena, Isis, Demeter, Astarte, Hathor, Serapis, Asherah, Artemis, Inanna/Ishtar, Kore/Persephone, Kybele, and the unnamed Venus figurine deity, as seen on the cover, that has been found in related forms in at least 17 different ancient cultures worldwide. Also covered is the worship of Mother Earth and other non-goddess mother figures such as Eve, the Madonna, and Mary the Virgin. This book provides a complete historical overview of the Mother Goddess and her influence.
