I have a question... a query if you will... perhaps an inquiry?

[KillerMuffin]

Very well.

This would be on the topic of goddesses, Gaiea (sp?) to be specific.

When you think of the Mother Earth, Gaea, and all of the connotations that go with the phrase, what does she look like to you? What kind of personality would she have? How do you think of her? What physical traits do you think she'd have? Any opinions on her, as you would imagine her to be, at all?

This isn't about belief systems, origins, whether or not you believe in her or not, the viability of deities, but what image you get when you think of "Mother Earth the Goddess."

Sorry KM.. I'm tainted by that movie Final Fantasy. In which Gaea was the beginning and end of all living things. In the movie, Mother Earth, earth's Gaea, resided in the very center of the earth. And that is where the soul of every living creature returned once it expired. In the movie it was portrayed as blue/white ocean of lightening. (is the best way i can describe it)

like she's described in the incarnations of immortality series by piers anthony.

a mist enswirls her, an indeterminate age, old or young...beautiful or ugly...it can't be seen...


i like to think of her that way...

 

[Never]

An older woman, mabye in her mid-fourties, dark smooth brown skin, strong, slightly cauloused hands.
She's a cross between the captian Planet Gaia and the gaia I once read about in a book.
This man was in a monistary i Tibet (?) and he connected with her via a computer.
Does anyone know about this book? I've been trying to find it for years.

Somewhere, a long time ago, I saw a picture that reminded me of Mother Earth. She was a voluptuous red-head, with hair that fell in thick waves down to the ground. She had ample breasts and an hour-glass figure. She was wearing robes similar to a toga with one breast uncovered. The toga was white with a bluegreen length of cloth for contrast. Her eyes were green, earthy. Her cheeks were pink, her skin creamy white. She had a wreath of flowers in her hair and she was standing amid a forest with trees, ferns and ivy hanging and growing all around her.

In the picture, she looks very feminine, but strong and capaple, sturdy.

 

[tmuyo]

Gaia: A Description

The Gaia hypothesis, first advanced by British biochemist James Lovelock, holds that the Earth should be regarded as a living organism with interrelated parts; therefore all living creatures are inextricably connected to each other.

A sound: One hears Gaia before one see her. She is quiet and peaceful but contains hints of moving water, of birdsong, of waves breaking on the beach, of the wind moaning through the trees, and whispers of distant thunder.

A scent: Gaia smells green and growing, moist with the tang of salt air, fresh like the air is fresh after a wild rain sweeps through an area. Wisps of flower-scent compete with the smell of green decay, the scoured-clean scent of the desert pushes at the saturatedly humid aspect of a tropical jungle. Rocks, water, plants.

A vision: Gaia is always in the middle of her life. She is strong, possessed of smoothly cafe au lait skin and her long dark hair flows down her back. She pushes it back impatiently, not hiding behind its glory, looking all in the eye. She's not thin, not obese, and her body is like her feet or her face, a part of her whole self. She is womanly in shape, almost motherly, definitely possessed of ample breasts and a curved shape. Though not overtly sexual, she's imbued with the innocent sensuality of nature.
