We wish a Happy Mothers Day to all of out M-Sol family and friends..... Goddess Blessings....Taken From Goddess Blessings sight... The concept of Mother Earth arose centuries later in Greece. In the 7th century BCE, the poet Hesiod gave the deep-breasted earth mother the name Gaea, she who gave birth to the sky, sea, and mountains, as well as the ruling gods called the Titans. A few centuries later, Gaeas daughter Rhea, was honored each year with festivals called Hilaria. The festivities lasted for three days and by all accounts were great family entertainment, with revelers bringing And here the stage was set for one of the great struggles of all time, a battle that the classicist Robert Graves described as one between the pagan Goddess and the Hebrew and Christian God. Known as the Magna Mater (Great Mother), Cybele was widely honored. Her worship, however, was associated with some rather repellent rituals that eventually led to the banishment of her followers from Rome, gravely weakening the goddess religions. Graves notes that the Christian church declared war on the White Goddess, also known as the Triple Goddess, the ancient European deity who appeared as the new, full, and old moons, representing The Female Goddess of Birth, Love and Death. The Christian Trinity, said Graves, eventually triumphed over the trinity of the Goddess. The Western male conquered the Eastern and agricultural female.
