Goddess

A goddess is a female deity with supernatural powers in polytheistic religions. Goddesses most often have feminine characteristics that are apotheosized in their pure form. However, in some cases goddesses may embody neutral forms personifying both male and female characteristics (like Sophia), or they may even exhibit traits that are traditionally associated with the male gender (such as in the case of Artemis). Goddesses have been especially linked with virtues such as beauty, love, motherhood and fertility (Mother-goddess cult in prehistoric times), but because of their flexibility in gender portrayal, they have also been associated with ideas such as war, creation, and death.

In some faiths, a sacred female figure holds a central place in religious prayer and worship. For example, Shaktism, the worship of the female force that animates the world, is one of the three major sects of Hinduism. In Tibetan Buddhism, the highest advancement any person can achieve is to become like the great female Buddhas (e.g. Arya Tara) who are depicted as supreme protectors, fearless and filled with compassion for all beings.

    Goddess

    by: Colour Haze

    Have you seen that goddess? It seems to me she walks on light
    Have you seen that goddess? Her sex and love let everyone shine
    Have you felt her fire? Feel her being, feel her mind
    I have to find that goddess, to bring her my love, to light my fire
    I have to find that goddess, and I won’t fear no death nor life
    I have to dig it deeper, Feel my 23 and she makes it twice
    I get it on and set my head on fire, set it all right
    I get it on and drown my heart in water, set it all right
    I get it on and raise my body from the mud, set it all right
    I get it on and wave my soul in the air, set it all right
    Now I love my goddess and she loves me and it’s all right
    Now I love my goddess, like a nut dog in the night
