Gods and Goddesses - ancient and modern art
As women become more of a force in our worldwide culture, goddesses also get more and more attention.
You will find some beautiful, some ancient and some modern art depicting goddesses from all over the world. You will learn something of the wide variety of themes the female life force has been associated with.
Fertility and justice are two classics - but what about death or wealth? From China to Europe; From Egypt to South American Inca - these female goddesses are tribute to the strength of women.

I like this depiction of the goddess of Love by Evelyn Paul - she looks fertile, and not too skinny :) Which is true to life I'd say.

Goddess Hathor Welcoming Sety I to the Afterlife
His well preserved tomb, from which this picture was taken, was found early in the 19th century. It is not only one of the largest tombs, it is also the first to be lavishly decorated.
Hathor was a very diverse goddess: This shows her to be a central Goddess of ancient Egypt. She was goddess of love, music and beauty, cheerfulness, music and dance. Also known as the Mother of Mothers and the Celestial Nurse who presided over women, fertility, children and childbirth.
Gods often also have a fearsome aspect. In Hathor's case she was the Vengeful Eye of Ra, the Lady of Drunkeness, and a goddess of the dead as Lady of the West. As Lady of the Southern Sycamore, the sycamore was sacred to her. It was from the sycamore tree that she was thought to hand out good things to the deceased in the afterlife, and so she was thought to be a friend to the dead.
It is as friend of the dead that we see her handing a Magic Collar to Seti I.
