Description by Mister 13

Aerosol spray, brush and a kleenex on cavas.In ancient civilizations they deeply worship “God the Mother” and they have always had an icon or symbol related to the Mother element.In ancient Egypt she is ISIS; in Aztec civilization she is TONANTZIN; yet to medieval alchemists she is STELLA MARIS, the Virgin of the Sea. The Hindus called her DEVI KUNDALINI SHAKTI; in Greek civilization she is CYBELE, RHEA, ADONIA, and INSOBERTA… and in Christianity she was represented by MARY.She is the originator, she is the great conception, she is the sustenance, the house, the home, the nature and the world. She is the motherly love which is always present in every woman… The human mother is nothing else but the resemblance and image of the universal mother, of God’s mother. If God is Father, he is also Mother, because there are two parts of HIM.In some religions, a sacred feminine archetype can occupy a very central place in prayer and worship. In Hinduism, Sacred Feminine or Shaktism is one of the three major Hindu denominations of worship along with Vishnu and Shiva.In Tibetan Buddhism, the highest achievement any person can achieve is to become like the \"great\" female Buddhas (e.g. Arya Tara) who are depicted as being supreme protectors, fearless and filled with compassion for all beings.The primacy of a monotheistic or near-monotheistic \"Great Goddess\" is advocated by some modern matriarchists as a female version of, preceding, or analogue to, the Abrahamic God associated with the historical rise of monotheism in the Mediterranean Axis Age.The Upper Paleolithic Venus figurines have been sometimes explained as depictions of an Earth Goddess similar to Gaia. In Native American Indian storytelling, \"The Earth Goddess\", is one of several Creator-based titles and names given to the Spider Grandmother.In ancient Hawaii, Nuakea was a mother goddess of lactation.Carl Gustav Jung suggested that the archetypal mother was a part of the collective unconscious of all humans, and various Jungian students. Erich Neumann and Ernst Whitmont have argued that such mother imagery underpins many mythologies, and precedes the image of the paternal \"father\", in such religious systems. Such speculations help explain the universality of such mother goddess imagery around the world.Some currents of Neopaganism, in particular Wicca, have a bitheistic concept of a single goddess and a single god, who in hieros gamos represent a united whole. Polytheistic reconstructionists focus on reconstructing polytheistic religions, including the various goddesses and figures associated with indigenous cultures.The irony of it all is how important was the figure of the women in ancient cultures, and how it change years ago, like the concepts of life, death, the idea the human race and the relationship with the nature, signs of the involution of our society.
