A Goddess is a female Deity found in many animistic/Polytheistic religions in the world. a lot of them are very powerful and some of them are the main god/spirit. post pics and info on goddesses and female spirits around the world ![]() Gaia ![]() Gaia was the great mother of all: the primal Greek Mother Goddess; creator and giver of birth to the Earth and all the Universe; the heavenly gods, the Titans and the Giants were born from her union with Uranus (the sky), while the sea-gods were born from her union with Pontus (the sea). Oya ![]() She is seen in aspects as the warrior-spirit of the wind, lightning, fertility, fire, and magic. She creates hurricanes and tornadoes, and guards the underworld. She is the spirit of tornadoes (which are said to be her whirling skirts as she dances), lightning, earthquakes, and any kind of destruction. Beyond destruction, Oya is the spirit of change, transition, and the chaos that often brings it about. Her association with the marketplace, and more specifically with the gates of cemeteries (as opposed to the entire underworld), reveals her in her aspect as facilitator of transition. Oyá, when danced, often has a horse tail. Her clothes have all the colors but black. She has a face expression of really big and open eyes, and she breathes and blows up her chins, and often screams. Amaterasu ![]() is a part of the Japanese myth cycle and also a major deity of the Shinto religion. She is the goddess of the sun, but also of the universe. The name Amaterasu derived from Amateru meaning "shining in heaven." The meaning of her whole name, Amaterasu-ōmikami, is "the great august kami (Gama or God) who shines in the heaven". The Emperor of Japan is said to be a direct descendant of Amaterasu. 2 Likes 1 Share |

PAGAN 9JA:a lot of non Islamic/Christian religions in the world are like that so it is not unique but any way shinto still has a lot of differences. Shinto is based on belief in, and worship of, Kami The best English translation of kami is 'spirits', but this is an over-simplification of a complex concept - kami can be elements of the landscape or forces of nature.Amaterasu seems to be the greatest of the kami ![]() i will post more later 1 Like |

CAMEROONPRIDE: ^^ of course coming from a western point of view our religions are not organized, in fact according to them we are backwards and primitives, come to think of it aren't they the same who called us uncivilized or without civilization? please our religions don't have to answer europeans standards to b considered as organized .BTW the whole article doesn't even make sense ..BWITI AND IFA(that you ignored) existed before ISLAM and Christianity, how come these religions have suddenly been influenced by Abrahamic religions? ![]() [img]http://4.bp..com/_enRW2gU1hjg/S9rdnKejXoI/AAAAAAAAA6I/W0mtFBNAg-4/s400/Religion_distribution_Afric.jpg[/img] that's way. and anyway unorganized religions is kind of interesting since not every body does it the same way. |
