How can we improve this section?
Noticed a few goddesses missing. Astarte, Kali, and Inanna are the three immediate ones. Would be nice to have them added. :)
Agreed!
I haven't had a chance to look through this all the way yet but does any one know about the German goddess Frau Perchta
yeah, loki and the morrigan
i noticed a few gods and goddess missing as well. I was mostly looking for Loki however. hope they all get added soon <3
Your missing trifolov
I've been looking high and low for info on Nemetona. It would be nice to see her added. :)
Could you add Persephone?
That was my # 2 thought, besides Lilith or Lilitu
The Morrígan and Her triple nature bear discussion, because that would be an easy way to mention the Celtic love of threes (like the three realms of land, sea, and sky), and a cross-reference to Brigid would be easy to add. If you put in the three goddesses with the title Morrígan, it would also be worth mentioning that the triad is not the "maiden, mother, crone" of Wicca and is more like three different queens of legend, separated in time — for example, in the Táin Bó Cuilgne (Cattle Raid of Cooley), the "Morrígan" who challenges Cú Chulainn is in the tale, but so is a place named after Macha, a warrior queen of Ireland who became one of the goddesses in the triad.
could you add Nyx?
I was just going to ask the same thing! So hard to find info on her.
Returning to full time in September, your article requests are all being noted.
if i want to work with the goddess Athena can i still use the triple moon symbol or should I change it???
Athene doesn't really have anything to do with the moon. She's pretty terrestrial and "civilized". theoi dot com has some good information about Athene.
id say the triquatra(the protection symbol
Why would you use a Celtic symbol for a Hellenic God?
Athene's symbols are the owl, the olive, the gorgon, the helmet, spear and aegis. She has an article here. And theoi.com is a wonderful resource.
because celtic gods use hellenic writing
