Revolutionary Greetings this blog is to show that the woman/wombman The great Matriarch of Matriarchy is the oldest known monotheistic belief of interpretation of what many in modern times call God many dont know that word god origins track back to the feminine etymologies of words that describe the feminine detail, actually the oldes image of god is a female e.g. Mother God of Willendorf She is inspired by Venus of Willendorf, believed to be the oldest image of God in existence, a small sculpture, perhaps as old as 70,000 BCE. She is an omnipotent creator and giver of life, fertility and abundance, This why we must continue to research and conclude to why she was subjugated and removed from here stance as the principle first known concept of god we all know what patriarchy masculine domination in religios has done to remove her for political control and spiritual control of the mind body and soul i think this has to be destroyed and return the Wombman and most of this tyranny of the mind and physical being in life will return to its peaceful domain especially for Afrikan people heres 7 more goddess of afrika enjoy.... -Rebuild
Goddesses can be found in the historical beliefs or present day observances of most cultures and religions. In some cultures Goddesses represent nature and the earth, motherhood and love. However, in some cultures Goddesses are associated with death, war, and destruction.
The word goddess is a combination of the Germanic word god and the Latinate suffix -ess. The term became a part of Middle English language around 1350 and is used to describe a female deity. The word goddess can describe a female deity of a monotheistic belief system with a single creator deity or a polytheistic belief system with many deities.
