The other aspect of the Mother Goddess image is in Mother Nature herself. While we do not worship her in the USA (for the most part), she is actually the Goddess Ceres. She has been used for many commercials and it seems many forget where she originates.
We also hunt for Easter Eggs (coming up in a few months) and tell our children about the Easter Bunny. Eostara is a Goddess of the Spring (Persephone is the equivalent in Greek/Roman myth) who holds rabbits and eggs sacred. Eggs are fertility symbols, and spring is the time of birth. It is interesting to note the most sacred of Christian holidays is put on the most sacred of the Pagan holidays. They wanted to wipe it all out, but we still look for those Easter Eggs.
With Minerva protecting our soldiers, Thetis protecting our Justice and Libertas protecting our freedom, we seem to have many who either based this on Paganism or had a major interest in it. Also, Nike is for the athletes (she features on the Olympic medals since 2004), Venus is adorned on many buildings built by the Freemasons. Venus the Love Goddess is a protector of alchemy along with Mercury.
Let us not forget Santa is a version of the god Saturn who gave out gifts of toys to all. He was especially fond of children even though the Greeks portrayed him as a mean one. He was raised up again in Rome where he was celebrated in Saturnalia.
George Washington in many sculptures is portrayed as Jupiter. I wonder if future generations will begin to venerate him as a god.
George Washington is posed just like the Jupiter model.
More on this later on.
