Gaia
(a.k.a. Mother Earth)
Divine Domains
Gaia is the personification of the planet Earth. While orignating from ancient Greek mythology, the modern Universalist goddess Gaia has taken on aspects of deities from other religions and may more closely resemble these other deities in certain regions. She is associated with the Earth, vegetation, earthquakes, fertility, the hearth, and the harvest. As opposed to solely representing the land (earth), as in ancient times, a modern interpretation of Gaia more closely aligns her with the planet (Earth) as a whole.
