Goddesses of Love and Fertility
"The Goddess is first of all earth, the dark, nuturing
mother who brings forth all life. She is the power of fertility and generation;
the womb, and also the receptive tomb, the power of death. All proceeds
from Her; all returns to Her. As earth, She is also plant life; trees,
the herbs and grains that sustain life. She is the body, and the body
is sacred."
