| | Cybele - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Cybele's most ecstatic followers were males who ritually castrated themselves, after which they were given women's clothing and assumed female identities, who were referred to by the third century commentator Callimachus in the feminine Gallai, and who other contemporary commentators in ancient Greece and Rome referred to as Gallos or Galli. | | | She was associated with the mystery religion concerning her son, Attis, who was castrated and resurrected. | | | In Archaic Phrygian images of Cybele of the sixth century, already betraying the influence of Greek style (Burkert), her typical representation is in the figuration of a building’s façade, standing in the doorway. |

| | The Cult of Cybele |
| | Cybele's religion was a bloody cult that required its priests and priestesses as well as followers to cut themselves during some rituals. | | | A priest of Cybele is said to have been murdered while trying to introduce the cult into Athens. | | | Dionysus of Halicarnassus records that specific laws were passed when some of the undesirable aspects of the cult became apparent. |

| | Mother Goddesses |
| | Cybele was so revered that she was often called "The Mother of All" or "The Great Mother of the Gods". | | | The mother goddess is also seen with the divine consort of mortal or even divine ruler, whom she must periodically mate with, as in the case of Cybele and her consort Attis. | | | To the Romans, Attis was worshipped as the god of vegetation and fertility and was seen as consort of Cybele. |

| | Cybele and Dagon, Amphibious Gods |
| | There are some scholars who say the fish head hat of the priests of Enki (a Sumerarian god of the Earth and world order) later became the miter of the bishops. | | | The mitre on the head of the goddess Cybele is striking similarity to the 'fish head' of the God Dagon. | | | This festival in ancient Babylonianism of Astarte (known as Istar or Easter), was about her son coming back from the dead which is why the Easter celebration has the symbolic egg as well as the Astarte name for the celebration of the borrowed mythical resurrection of the Bright Morning Star -Jesus (Revelation 22:16). |

| | CATULLUS: The Ancient Rite of CYBELE |
| | The Great Mother Goddess CYBELE whose ancient shrine was at Dindymus in Asia Minor, was served by priests who performed her ritual of self-castration and ritual domination before the mighty Mother Goddess. | | | The verse-form, which has been called "galliambic", that is basic iambic verse adapted to the uses of the Galli, or castrated priests of the Magna Mater from Asia Minor, is also unparalleled, and even the interpretation of the cadences is in large part unclear. | | | There are fragments of Greek texts which indicate that the cult of Cybele was well known in the ancient East and had been previously treated in poetry, but this text is the only coherent description of the frightening Ritual of the Great Goddess |

| | Goddess: archeological evidence; symbols and the dawn of religions |
| | It is interesting to note that the priests of Cybele copied her former priestesses: the so called Galli were castrated and dressed in woman clothes. | | | Her emblem was initially a black meteorite, but she was later changed into her more prevalent appearance as a goddess with a crown of towers or chariot and the two lions. | | | The king sacrifice in prehistoric Greece may well have taken the form of castration, as reflected in the myth of Ouranos' castration by Cronos, and by association Aphrodite Ourania in her castrating bee-goddess form. |

| | Cybele was worshipped in many different ways that seem preposterous to us today. | | | Whether it is the drinking of a bull’s blood or the cleansing of oneself with it, modern religion cannot escape the fact that we have part of the worshiping of Cybele in our own religion. | | | By looking at the face value of the worship of Cybele, it would be easy to say that there are absolutely no similarities between their worship and ours. |
