Gaia: Greek. The Mother Goddess who cares for the earth, and gives birth to all who reside there. This graceful mother Goddess gently cradles the Earth. Every curve of her pose reveals her loving concern for all ife. Her worship dates back to at least 6500 BCE.
Greeks worshipped her as Gaia, the Deep-Breasted One, Oldest of the Old, and dedicated the Erechtheion, a temple adjoining the Parthenon at Athens, to this regal image. Gaia creates all things terrestrial, and is sometimes portrayed accompanied by Sphinx-like human headed lions symbolizing the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
