Potnia Theron

Home / Potnia Theron

In Greek mythology, the Lady of the Animals is a female deity associated with animals. She had power over them and used fire to purify her domains of evil influences. She used fire to purify her domains and give life to the soil, plants and animals. There is a bond between the Earth Mother and every woman who is also a mother and nurturer. The Potnias show women how to reconnect with their inner feminine to rediscover their individual value. This vision opens a window on human relationships, beginning with the natural archetype of the family. It shows how female beings can transition from fragility to power. Their power is misunderstood and feared in a patriarchal society. This unpublished work is based on studies of the mother goddess.
