Cult of the Mother Goddess
Mothers are the primordial symbol of the generative power of life in its cyclical structure.
Nature represents the cycle of life and death: it is the biological chain that holds mortals in its grip.
The Mothers are owed the worship celebrating the power of blood.
Indeed, it is a law of blood: both in its lunar cyclical nature of fertility; and in the harshness of fate, whereby what is born deserves to die; and in the strength of constraint and compensatory vengeance.

Humankind and the Mother Goddesses
For I am she who is first and last,
I am she who is worshipped and scorned,
I am she who is a harlot and a saint,
I am a wife and a virgin,
I am a mother and a daughter,
I am the arms of my mother,
…
Hymn to Isis (Nag Hammadi, Egypt, 4th-3rd century BC).”
