Cybele - Mother Goddess

Cybele is the Anatolian Mother Goddess.  She represents the Earth in its primitive and power state.  Cybele was originally worshiped on mountain tops as a black meteorite.  Romans adopted Cybele in 205 BC. They added a woman's body and honoured her as Great Mother of the Gods (Magma Mater Deum Idea).  She became one of the leading deities in Rome and was addressed as a Virgin (one unto herself).  Cybele is worshipped by Anatolians and Romans on March 15 as beginning of the spring festivals
