Gaia • Mother Earth • isis

For many people around the world, the earth is a living, sentient and sacred entity — revered and honoured just as the Gods and Goddesses of many cultures are revered.

This sacred entity is known by many names: Gaia, Earth Mother, Demeter, Pachamama, Mother Earth, Nokomis, Hathor, Vasundharā, Dharaṇī, Dewi Sri, Durga, Asase Ya, Anjea, Ala, and a range of other names.

Today the natural world is being destroyed by mining, deforestation, pollution, and disrespect.

I see a direct correlation between the mistreatment of the earth; the mistreatment of women; and the mistreatment of Indigenous people worldwide.
