Cybele

Cybele is a historic goddess originating from ancient Phrygia (modern-day Turkey), associated with nature, fertility, and mountains. She was revered as the Mother of All, symbolizing earth’s fertility and nurturing qualities. In later Greek and Roman traditions, she became linked to other Mother Earth deities and was often depicted with a crown and chariot. Cybele’s worship included music, rituals, and ceremonies, emphasizing her role as a protector and provider. Her cult highlights the importance of nature’s cycles and the maternal aspects of divine femininity across ancient cultures.
