Worship of The Great Mamma was GLOBAL, in every corner of the ancient world. In Afraka, where knowledge and documentation of Her began (before being dispensed throughout the world) Her many names included Nu, Neith, Neter, Uati, Ma, Mawu, Mut, Maat, Ast, Kar, Har, Meri and Hathor.
In ancient North America She was called “Woman,” the Mother, the Grandmother, and the Old Woman who tends the fires of life; the Old Woman Spider who weaves us together in a fabric of interconnection; the Eldest God who Remembers and Re-members. The Hopis called Her Huruing Wuhti Hard Beings Woman who is of the Earth, but lives in the worlds above where she “owns” (empowers) the Moon and Stars. As Tlazoltéotl She was the Aztec Mother of the Gods.
Her many names in India included Ida, Sarasvati, Shakti, Kali, Chandi and Laksmi the Goddess of wealth and good fortune. As Maya She was the Virgin Mother of Buddha; as Devaki She was the Blak Virgin Mother of Krishna. She is Maha Devi, “The One Great Goddess.”
In China She was Kuan Yin (Yoni of Yonis), Nu-Kua, “She who created the Universe,” Shin-Moo the “Holy Mother,” “Mother Goddess” and “Virgin.” As Ch’ang-O She was Goddess of the Moon. The Chinese built many splendid temples to honor “Ma-Tsoo-Po,” the “Queen of Heaven.” [BM 326] In Japan She was Kwannon. She was Mama in Sumeria; Ishtar /Mylitta in Babylon; Astarte in Phoenicia; Anaites in Armenia; and Cybele (Sybil) in Phrygia. The ancient original Blak Jews called Her Shekina the Bride of God or God’s female Half.
The Greeks called Her Isis, Aphrodite, Metis, Demeter, Nix, Hera, Gaia. The Romans called Her Isis, Venus, Medusa, Dianna, Minerva. The ancient Scandinavians worshiped Her as Frigga. The Druids worshiped Her as Virgo-Paritura the “Mother of God.” The Germans worshipped the Great Virgin Mother as Ostara. The Christian “Easter” is named after Her (Ast-Ar, As-Tar, Ishtar). Christian worship of Her survives as the Catholic worship of the Madonna or Mother of Christ, who is called Our Lady, the Queen of Heaven, the Great Lady, Star of the Sea, Mother of God, Immaculate Virgin, etc., all titles previously applying to Goddess Ast (Isis), the Afrakan original.
She is the Power of Intelligence, having a multitude of names and emblems. She is the true Creatrix for She is Thought itself, from which all else is born. She is the Spirit that informs right balance, right harmony. And these in turn order all relationships in uniformity with Her law. To assign to this Great Being the position of “fertility goddess” as typically done in male-authored books discussing Her, “is exceedingly demeaning: it trivializes the power of woman.”
