Definition(s)

  • Worship of the “goddess,” defined variously as a deity or divine figure, idol, or a spirit or supernatural being, has existed throughout recorded history in various forms. Prior to the period of patriarchal dominance, a goddess-centered religion existed that continued beyond the advent of Judaism, Christianity, and other religions that were centered on a male God as supreme creator.
