Abstract:
This paper explores the intertwined history of certain goddesses of the Middle East and the Americas. This history informs the original invented contemporary deities that my project centers around. Using recycled materials and collected objects, my project displays two religious altars, one from my heritage and one from my experience living in Brazil. One altar is based on afro-Brazilian sea goddesses, and one is a contemporary imagined interpretation of a Judeo-Christian female figure. The two altars together compose an installation that seeks to unify a pagan practice and two distinct monoth

Abstract:
In literary discourse from the Genesis creation myth through John Milton's Paradise Lost and beyond, Eve has been patriarchally considered to be the bringer of Sin and Death into the world. In Paradise Lost Eve is depicted as deceiving Adam into the Fall by way of the Serpent. Paradise Lost creates a Miltonic command that helps to further blame Woman for Sin and Death. Milton's poem is based on the Genesis creation myth written by Canaanite authors. In this myth the Canaanite authors wished to rid the world of Goddess worship and, by humanizing Eve, they successfully obliterate that form of wo

Who were the Daughters of Allah, the three Arabian goddesses mentioned in the Qur'an and venerated by the pagan Arabs prior to the rise of Islam, and who since have vanished into obscurity? Can we reconstruct information about these goddesses by reference to earlier goddesses of the Near East? It is our intention to explore this possibility through an examination of their predecessors in view of the links between the Fertile Crescent and the Arabian Peninsula.

The evidence for contact is overwhelming. In Chapter Two we consider the evidence for Semitic motifs in the iconography, mythology and names of Greek goddesses connected with nature.

Abstract:
In Celtic religious studies, it is often difficult to find reliable textual sources if you are working with pre-Christian religion, since all text is written in a Christian context. As a result, Celtic scholars have to look outside of the pre-Christian Celtic context, to search for knowledge elsewhere. For example, one may use texts from Classical writers (such as Caesar) who wrote about Celts they encountered, or look to Christian material (in particular saints’ lives) to search for clues of pagan traditions which may have survived into Christianity. This has resulted in that certain Celtic p

Lucian, writing in the mid-second century AD, recorded his observations of an "exotic" local cult in the city of Hierapolis in what is today Northern Syria.

De Dea Syria presents to us an Oriental cult of a fertility goddess as seen through the eyes of a Hellenized Syrian devotee and religious ethnographer.

This work consists of a comparative study of the female deities venerated by the Celts of Gaul, Ancient Britain and Ancient Ireland from the 8th c. BC to around 400 AD. The Celts had the peculiarity of transmitting their culture, religious beliefs and myths exclusively by oral means, from one generation to another. The available data relating to Celtic goddesses are thus all indirect and of a different nature and period according to the country concerned. They fall into three categories: contemporary Classical texts, which mainly pertain to Gaul and are very rare; the vernacular literature of

Abstract:
La présente étude s'intéresse aux popula-tions installées en Irlande avant l'arrivée du christianisme (aux environs du Ve siècle de notre ère), et plus précisément aux bâtisseurs des tombes à couloirs du Néolithique ainsi qu'aux Celtes. L'omniprésence d'une com-posante féminine symbolique dans les pay-sages pré-chrétiens (qu'ils soient naturels, mégalithiques ou littéraires) est au centre de cette analyse, qui prend en considération le caractère matrifocal des sociétés archaïques et en évalue l'impact sociétal et rituel chez les Celtes.

Abstract:
Detta är en kartläggande uppsats som har i uppgift att beskriva en ”ny” religiös tradition. Det är även en jämförande uppsats mellan Glastonburys tempel och templet i Söderhamn. År 2002 grundades templet i Glastonbury, som var det första templet som grundades inom denna gren av gudinnetron. År 2006 grundades templet i Söderhamn, det är det enda templet i Sverige med denna inriktning. Genom att jämföra dessa tempel, och studera deras tro, vill jag komma fram till likheter och olikheter mellan dessa tempel och studera svårigheter denna religiösa gren har stött på.

Abstract:
The thesis mainly studies social-historical co(n)texts to understand the polemic in Revelation against the so-called ‘Jews’ and a self-professed prophetess named ‘Jezebel’ (Rev 2-3). The enquiry centres on two areas: (1) the underlying issues to the polemic against the abovenamed contenders, and (2) a reading of a polemical technique in the text against prophetess ‘Jezebel’ through a specific web of associations involving two ‘Jezebels’ and a great harlot. Preliminary studies provide the framework for the main enquiry. ‘Historical anchorage’ is attained in the echoes/allusions of the beast fro

Abstract:
Iris, l’arc-en-ciel, la rapide messagère « aux ailes d’or », est une divinité de rang B dont les représentations sur la céramique attique des VIe et Ve siècle avant notre ère ont été peu étudiées. Cet état de fait est dû aux très nombreuses représentations de déesses ailées dans la céramique attique, lesquelles entraînent nécessairement confusions et problèmes d’identification : avec Niké en premier lieu, avec Éos, Hébé, et d’autres divinités dans une moindre mesure. Nous avons alors cherché à comprendre ce lieu d’expérimentations et de jeux qu’est l’image attique et, plus particulièrement, qu
