Den Stora Moderns ansikte.
Till skillnad från de manliga gudareligioner som
uppkom på ruinerna av Den Stora Moderns
tempel, fick man avbilda henne hur
mycket man ville.
I alla fall ser det så ut, med tanke på
hur många skulpturer av Henne
man hittat.
Hon hade många namn och hon
hade många aspekter.
Hon var en fertil, oftast fet kvinna, en bild av välutvecklat socialt
samarbete och stora resurser på stenåldern.
Hon symboliserades också av en uggla, som man trodde att hon tog
formen av, när hon
hämtade hem människorna
vid döden. Hon avbildades också som en fallos.
The face of
The Great Mother Earth
Unlike the male gods that emerged on top of the ruins of the temples of
The Great Mother, you were allowed to make pictures and sculptures
of her, as much as you would like. At least it looks that way,
considering the number of sculptures of Her that has been found.
She had many names and she had many aspects.
She was a fertile, often fat, woman, thus showing a picture of the
welldeveloped social cooperation and great resources, of the
neolithics.
She was also symbolized by an owl, that was believed to be an aspect of
the Mother, as she came to take the souls home with her, at the moment of
death. She was also enpicted as a phallos.
