Earthmother
The Goddess, the Spirit of the Moonshae Isles
The Earthmother is the spirit of nature in the Moonshaes.
The goddess is a neutral deity, recognizing that both good
and evil have a place in the world. Her strength derives
from the Balance of these extremes. Her enemies are not
only those who would extinguish life casually or maliciously,
but also those who would tame the land and bring
it under the control of human caretakers.
The Earthmother has no traditional form. She is not a
mortal-imitating being, but the very hills, moors, marshes,
and seas of the isles. Her symbols are myriad. The swallow
is her favored messenger, the broad oak her ageless
strength, and the towering pine represents the Balance.
Her deepest symbols are the moon and the sun, incorporating
the juxtaposition necessary to achieve that Balance.
The temples of the Earthmother are the druid groves
where her worshippers gather. Her sacred moonwells are
her windows onto the world. Those periods when the
moon is full are nights of high power. The druids rejoice
at the solstices and the equinoxes, as the land itself shares
in the celebration of the Earthmother’s power.
Primal Spirit or Divine Aspect?
The exact nature of the Earthmother is a matter of some debate in religious circles. The clerics of Chauntea contend that the Earthmother is an aspect of their goddess. The druids of the Ffolk contend that she is a primal spirit, the generative power of the land itself and not an aspect of a goddess of agriculture.Если вы хотите что то добавить или присоединится к команде редакторов - пишите комментарии
