The Faces of the Goddess
Author: Lotte Motz
Publisher: New York : Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195089677
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Indeed, human motherhood was held in such low esteem that Eskimo women were forced to give birth completely alone, with no human companionship and no helpful deities of childbirth. Likewise, while various Mexican goddesses ruled over healing, women's crafts, motherhood, and childbirth, and functioned as tribal protectors or divine ancestors, none of them either embodied the earth itself or granted fertility to the crops: for that the Mexicans looked to the male gods of maize and of rain. Nor were the rituals of these goddesses nurturing or peaceful.
