Download or read book Mother Worship written by James J. Preston and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors identify the general symbol of the "Mother Goddess" as a common sanctified image, and they demonstrate some of the cultural variations in form or function of the symbol in specific sociocultural settings. Although the subject is approached from a wide variety of perspectives, the authors concur that female deities are not mere projections of sociocultural conditions on an ideological screen; divine mother images represent something of the nurturant and sometimes destructive dimension of the cosmic order.

Download or read book Evolution of Mother Worship in India written by Prof. Sashi Bhusan Dasgupta and published by Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math). This book was released on with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept and practice of ‘Worship of God as Mother’ in India dates to a hoary past. In the modern age new vistas of this type of divine worship have been opened up with the advent of Sri Ramakrishna whose life and spiritual practices have taught humankind not only to look upon God as Mother of the Universe but also to realize Her as residing in the hearts of all, especially women. His divine consort, Sri Sarada Devi, was looked upon as a special manifestation of that Mother of the Universe and is literally adored by countless devotees. She was the Mother of the virtuous and the wicked, humans and sub-humans. Evolution of Mother Worship in India traces the growth of this ideal as embodied in some of its well-known characters in Indian history and literature.

Download or read book Pagan Goddess Mother written by Chandra Alexandre and published by Demeter Press. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology calls Pagan and Goddess mothering into focus by highlighting philosophies and experiences of mothers in these spiritual movements and traditions. Pagan and Goddess spirituality are distinct, yet overlapping and diverse communities, with much to say about deity as mother, and about human mothers in relationship to deity. Authors share creative voices, stories, and scholarship from the forefront of Pagan- and Goddess- centered home, in which divine mothers, Goddesses, diverse female embodiments, and generative life cycles are honoured as sacred. Authors inquire into how their spirituality impacts the perceived value and experiences of mothers themselves, while generating new ways of imagining and enacting motherhood in spiritual and daily life. Pagan, Goddess, Mother opens spaces for dialogue in areas such as how Pagan- and Goddess- centred mothers engage in, and are impacted by, their spiritual leadership through practices of ceremony, ritual, magic, and priestessing. Authors consider mothers' lived connections with their children, family life, and themselves, through nature, the Earth, and mothering as a spiritual practice. Chapters reflect upon the ways that Pagan- and Goddess- identified mothers creatively navigate daily interactions with dominant religions, the public sphere, community leadership, and activism facing the challenges of such while forging new pathways for spirited well being in mothering and family life.

Download or read book Mother of the Gods written by Philippe Borgeaud and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2004-11-12 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worshiped throughout the ancient Mediterranean world, the "Mother of the Gods" was known by a variety of names. Among peoples of Asia Minor, where her cult first began, she often shared the names of local mountains. The Greeks commonly called her Cybele, the name given to her by the Phrygians of Asia Minor, and identified her with their own mother goddesses Rhea, Gaia, and Demeter. The Romans adopted her worship at the end of the Second Punic War and called her Mater Magna, Great Mother. Her cult became one of the three most important mystery cults in the Roman Empire, along with those of Mithras and Isis. And as Christianity took hold in the Roman world, ritual elements of her cult were incorporated into the burgeoning cult of the Virgin Mary. In Mother of the Gods, Philippe Borgeaud traces the journey of this divine figure through Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome between the sixth century B.C. and the fourth century A.D. He examines how the Mother of the Gods was integrated into specific cultures, what she represented to those who worshiped her, and how she was used as a symbol in art, myth, and even politics. The Mother of the Gods was often seen as a dualistic figure: ancestral and foreign, aristocratic and disreputable, nurturing and dangerous. Borgeaud's challenging and nuanced portrait opens new windows on the ancient world's sophisticated religious beliefs and shifting cultural identities.

Download or read book The Gospel of Our Mother God written by Golden Order and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2008-09-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For far longer than the two millennia of Christianity; for far longer than the whole period of patriarchy combined, humanity followed a single Faith throughout the whole world. That Faith was the worship of Our Mother God, the sole Creatrix and Nourisher of the Universe, Three in One and One in Three, the Mistress of all the Angels, the Queen of Heaven, the Light, the Life, the Love of the world and the proper Focus of all human devotion. This is something far more profound than modern "goddess spirituality" or "goddess religion." It is the fundamental faith of humanity for the majority of human history. This Gospel consists of the essential Myths and Sutras of the world's first Faith. It is filled with the inexhaustible depth and sweetness of our religion, and is a companion and a guide for the daily life and worship of all devotees of Our Mother God.
