Great Goddess

Common card · No. 481286

The Great Goddess is the concept of an supreme mother goddess, often understood as part of ancient matriarchal religions. These religions are believed to have been Monotheistic, in which there is a singular goddess and their avatars. In most attested traditions, goddesses are part of a polytheistic pantheon in which mother goddesses exist alongside a pantheon of male and female deities. The Great Goddess is believed to have been worshiped as a creator deity in the Neolithic era across most of Eurasia, at least. There is scant scholarly support for the hypothesis. Theological belief in a Great Goddess is central to the Goddess movement.
