| | Goddess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Goddesses or demi-goddesses appear in sets of three in a number of ancient European pagan mythologies; these include the Greek Erinyes (Furies) and Moirae (Fates); the Norse Norns (Fates); Brighid and her two sisters, also called Brighid, from Irish or Keltoi mythology, and so on. | | | Indeed, in the great shakta scripture known as the Devi Mahatmya, all the goddesses are shown to be aspects of one presiding female force, one in truth and many in expression, giving the world and the cosmos the galvanic energy for motion. | | | A goddess is a female deity, in contrast with a male deity known as a "god". |

| | Triple Goddess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In ancient Indo-European mythologies, it is common for goddesses or demi-goddesses to appear as a trinity or triad, either as three separate beings who always appear as a group (the Greek Moirae, Charites, Erinnyes and the Norse Norns) or as a single deity who is commonly depicted in three aspects (The Greek Hecate). | | | The Goddess triad is as essential feature of the Shakti forms of Hinduism and a distinction is made between the separate goddesses Sarasvati, Lakshmi and Kali and their manifestation as three aspects of MahaDevi ("The Great Goddess") when they are named MahaSarasvati, MahaLaksmi, and MahaKali. | | | The three aspects of the goddess according to Graves are the Maiden (Greek Persephone), pure and a representation of new beginnings; the Mother (Greek Demeter), wellspring of life, giving and compassionate; and the Crone (Greek Hecate) wise, knowing, a culmination of a lifetime of experience. |

| | The leading pioneer of the goddess movement is the archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, who has spent thirty years studying patterns and symbols of cult objects and also developed the field she refers to as "archeomythology," which embodies the fields of archaeology, comparative mythology, and folklore. | | | This was allegedly a peace-loving, egalitarian society spread across the whole of Europe, wherein the Mother Goddess was worshipped as the center of religion. | | | A culture may worship the "Great Goddess" and therefore consider females as the creators of all life, while another culture may believe females to be the only creators of life but not necessarily believe in the "Great Goddess." One need not imply the other. |

| | In Goddess spirituality groups, the Goddess is represented as strong and powerful and, likewise, women are honoured as Priestesses, women of power, as active and energising as the Goddess. | | | However, not all goddess spirituality organisations and groups are exclusively orientated to women; The Fellowship of Isis, founded in 1976 and based in Eire, concentrates on both female and male principles of divinity; it is today the largest Goddess-centred organisation with over 13,000 members, both male and female, world-wide. | | | The Goddess Movement has enabled women to reclaim their own spirituality, unmediated by male priests, healing the image of the feminine and discovering self-worth and deeper meaning in their own womanhood, and has also helped men to develop a more balanced relationship with the feminine principal. |
