Who was the Mother Goddess?
In the earliest of times, priest astronomers made up stories from the patterns they saw in the stars. They carefully tracked the movement of sun, moon and stars throughout the year and were aware of the slow movement of the pole (the point around which the earth appears to rotate) through the heavens. The stories were believed by an innocent and uneducated audience and were passed down through the ages as a combination of myth and doctrine.
The stories told involved the origin of man, a heavenly paradise, the battle between good and evil, the super-nature of gods and goddesses and the all embracing influence of these powerful entities over the destiny of mankind. They were powerful stories that invaded the psyche and were passed on as ‘truth’ from parent to child reinforced by the confident assertions of God kings, priests, seers and wise men. In more recent times these origins have been conveniently forgotten and organised religions propound the same age old ‘truths’ on the basis that stories told in ancient texts are the enduring word of God.
One of the most fundamental of these stories is that of the creation of mankind – in the Judeo/Christian pantheon, the story of Adam and Eve.
This story was created from the picture above. Adam lies
in the constellations of Bootes and Ursa Major (The Big
Dipper) and the four principal stars of this same group of
stars are his ribs which are in the location of Eve’s torso.
She is holding an apple to Adam’s mouth and has one in
her own mouth. We can even see (in the inset) the fallen
(upside down) god Satan, whispering in her ear.
The stars directly connecting Adam and Eve are the principal stars of Ursa Major (The Big Dipper) and these stars are central to our understanding of ancient beliefs. The Egyptian Book of the Dead makes it clear that these are the stars that sheltered the location of the Gods.
The identification of this area of the stars as the home of the Gods is all the more significant when we add the other aspects attributed to it that affected ancient beliefs.
The constellation was believed to hold the shape of a regular pentagon and pentacle – a shape that is known to be associated with infinite reproduction, virgin birth and one of the three aspects of God.
The pole took exactly one seventh of the entire precessional cycle to pass through Bootes and Ursa Major (The Big Dipper). Thus we have an explanation of the seven days of creation and the sixth day in particular.
The three aspects of God were the sun, (the father) the pole (the Holy Spirit) and the Big Dipper (the son). These three aspects were in perfect alignment in 6750 BC when the pole entered the constellation of Bootes and the sixth day of creation commenced.

There is no doubt that the ray of light from the sun was believed to have fertilised the womb of God’s female aspect. Study of the orientation of Temples, Cathedral’s and Abbeys shows that they were secretly designed to allow beams of light through their rose windows to fertilise the inner womb of the mother goddess on some appropriate day of the year.
In Egypt, the female aspect of God was known by many names depending on her function and location. The principal names being Isis, Hathor and Nut.
All the Gods and Goddesses were different aspects of the godhead and existing in the same place, in and around The Big Dipper. Nut has always been thought of as the mother of creation and it comes as no surprise that the way she was depicted was directly related to the shape of the cup of this same constellation.

The Mother Goddess is the womb of God and is on high for all to see. It may not be a surprise to learn that the conventional pictures of mother and child can also be found in the northern stars. They are made from the stars in The Big Dipper and the Little Dipper and are found in an area of the sky that represents the seventh day, the day of rest.
