The Great Goddess In The North.
- Authors
Doubleday, James F.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the Maiden, who is considered to be the mother and the queen of the world. It reveals that she is the moon-goddess, corn-goddess, goddess of the dead, the great mother of all the living and their terrible destroyer, who is worshipped under many names and aspects, but all the aspects resolve into one overwhelming primordial figure. It also notes that this great goddess appears in at least one classical Indo-European mythology and has been concluded as the Greek goddess, instead of Demeter and Persephone.
