Mother Goddess  

Définition(s)

  • Archaeological findings indicate that from the Palaeolithic era, circa 20,000 B.C.E., Europeans worshipped a mother goddess, since they ascribed importance to procreation and reproduction, which was originally believed to occur solely through women's power. In later eras, deities were shown anthropomorphically as interacting males and females, and then with the widespread acceptance of monotheism, toward the Common Era, female deities were generally subordinated or denied.
