Product Information

While it’s easy to become infatuated with the beauty of Gaia’s gifts, she’s also the great destroyer. As children, at times we will upset mother—so too is this the case with the Great Mother Gaia. Her generosity can be taken advantage of, her lands raped and people harmed. It very much possible Apollo inherited his prophetic powers after killing Python – one of Gaia’s children.

Originally created in 1998 as a portrayal of Gaia, a Goddess for the New Millennium, this enchanting piece has been called a “sermon in stone”, with the myriad symbols and images that she displays. As an inclusive representation of the history of life on and within Earth, she conveys the spirit of our living planet. Over its lifetime, Gaiawillbe presented in a number of different ways both indoors and outdoors.

Return down the lift. At the bottom, you’ll see a GAIA Statue to your right. Whilst you might want to fight it now, its best to work your way around the area towards it to clear out the hidden Hunters nearby. Go down the stairs furthest from the GAIA Statue. At the bottom, head for the tent at the base of the cliff in the right-hand corner – there are two Hunters hidden here. Look to the right from the base of the stairs we just climbed down to find a foliage filled path. There is a third Hunter here. From the tent, go straight towards the GAIA Statue to find a fourth Hunter in the clearing just before it. Sekhmet, also spelled Sachmet, Sekhet, Sakhet or Sakhmet, was one of the oldest gods and goddesses in the ancient Egyptian pantheon who went by many names and titles, appearing often in her characteristic red dress. She is often associated with the goddesses Hathor and Bastet and is depicted with the Uraeus, associating her with the Wadjet. May your mountains attest to your splendor and strength and your valleys hum with the lullaby of your receptive embrace. Gaia was a deity known for fighting against cruel gods. It is interesting to note that she always lent a helping hand to deities that were willing to overthrow ruthless gods. Take the examples of Cronus and Zeus, who were both the youngest sons of their fathers; Cronus – Uranus’ youngest son – overthrew his father. Zeus’ – youngest son of his parents – overthrew his father, Cronus. Hesiod, Theogony, 129–132: Gantz, p. 10; Hard 2004, p. 31; Fowler, p. 5; Caldwell, p. 6; Grimal, s.v. Gaia; Tripp, s.v. Gaea.

The Great Destroyer

Pausanias also mention the sanctuary of Ge Gasepton in Sparta, [49] and a sanctuary of Ge Kourotrophe (Nurse of the Young) at Athens. [50] Aside from her temples, Gaia had altars as well as sacred spaces in the sanctuaries of other gods. Close to the sanctuary of Eileithyia in Tegea was an altar of Ge; [51] Phlya and Myrrhinos had an altar to Ge under the name Thea Megale (Great goddess); [52] as well as Olympia which additionally, similar to Delphi, also said to have had an oracle to Gaia: Apollo is the best-known as the oracle power behind Delphi, long established by the time of Homer, having killed Gaia's child Python there and usurped the chthonic power. [47] Hera punished Apollo for this by sending him to King Admetus as a shepherd for nine years. [ citation needed] Gaia or Ge had at least three sanctuaries in Greece which were mentioned by Pausanias. There was a temple of Ge Eurusternos on the Crathis near Aegae in Achaia with "a very ancient statue": [48] Their work suggested that in the earth chemicals all “talk” to one another to protect life on the planet; the salt in the ocean is never too salinated, the oxygen in the atmosphere never too noxious, and the temperature of the earth never grows too hostile for life to thrive. All elements work in perfect harmony to ensure life on earth is sustained.
