For today’s post, I have decided to share a poem about the power of Goddess.
Misunderstood Goddess
by Maranda Wabik
Great and mighty
Full of power
Inspiring awe
Yet oft-misunderstood!
I honor
Great Goddesses
Morgana
Aphrodite Venus
Rhiannon
Blodeuwedd
Freya
Not simply one thing,
Complex and empowered!
Do not diminish
The true nature
Of Deities
Instead
Embrace
The Eternal
Vastness of
Goddess

Do you know of Frenchman Jean Markale? He wrote a book called The Great Goddess. It’s a good read. There’s a lot of talk about the Goddesses outweighing other divinities in terms of antiquity, but I like that he weaves threads between say, the prehistoric Venuses and the familiar Gods of the Celts and Germans.
I like your poem. I too think the pantheons are more tightly intertwined than modernity credits.
I have read Jean Markale in the past! I haven’t read the one you mentioned, so I’ll have to pick it up. I have to agree that the pantheons are more greatly related than we believe. The ancient world was not as separate as modern people think. There was travel, so people learned of Gods of other cultures. When one country took over rule of another they brought their Gods with them to that country. Think about Greece and Rome controlling Egypt or Rome occupied Britain!
True! Although, to be honest with you, I’m willing to bet there’s a crucible of Goddess Worship. And that all the travel is a case of our ancestors telling each other their own versions of their great grandpa’s bedtime stories. Maybe in the ancient near-east, the crucible I mean. I won’t do it to you often, but I’ma do some shameless self promotion. A few book reviews/discussions, and some other stuff. If you’re bored someday, and no pressure.

I could see a crucible of Goddess Worship definitely. I will take a look! As always, thanks for reading and commenting!
My pleasure.
