Fertility Goddess ...


I was doing my usual read through on Wikipedia, one of the places from where I like to read these days. Somehow the subject today was the very familiar, yet far away one “Goddesses”. One link to another got me on to the page “Fertility Goddesses”. Next image that suddenly came in to my mind is that of hers. I hardly know her. All that I know is I have seen a few images, then again maybe the last one I saw did the trick.

The say they are female deities who watch over and promote fertility, pregnancy and birth. Some directly attributed with sex and some come to life with related attributes. Quite a few were familiar but never really associated all of them as fertility goddess. You will also be quite familiar with Venus, Aphrodite, Freyja, Sophia and of course our own Goddess Uma. I smiled, why her of all the people I know?

I looked at her again and she came back once again with her free flowing long hair, dancing to the tunes of the gentle breeze. Her curvy graceful posture would have lit anyone’s imagination. The gentle radiance was reflecting off her wide forehead. Large sparkling eyes were exuberating divine ecstasy. Tender lotuses like luscious lips were waiting to be devoured. Her hands now deciphered an inviting mudra. Skin was glowing with the brilliance of a 1000 fireflies. Bare mounds were luscious and full. She was as fertile as any other goddesses from the Indus Valley. The air now filled with the aroma of turmeric and jasmines. There she was “My Fertility Goddess” personified…
