The details the author provides to portrait each god gives us details of their deity and also the force/element of nature they represent. The gods that I am discussing in my paper are: Gaia, Ouranos, and
Artemis: Goddess of Many Names Artemis is the child of Leto and Zeus. She had one brother named Apollo (Heroes 32). Artemis is the Greek virgin goddess of the hunt (mythweb Artemis). When Artemis was born she had to help her mother give birth to her twin brother Apollo (mythweb Artemis). Artemis was promised many gifts from Zeus because of her actions (Heroes 32).
They believed in female, creative, reproductive power. Women were believed to have magic and that reproduction was the result of this magic. Paleolithic times relied heavily upon women to give birth to new members of the clan. Therefore, women ensured that the clan as a whole lives on even after the death of individual members. The role of men in reproduction was totally unknown to Paleolithic people.
Christine S. Vanpool used this information that has been collected and formed a methodology to help solve problems with local constraints as well as relating religious practitioners with shamans. The article starts with explaining what shamanism is and relates shamans to priests. Christina S. Vanpool explained the differences between shamans and priests to be something like a continuum because of the variation of traits associated with both groups (178). Other information that Christina S. Vanpool incorporated in her article included the tools, sacras, and narcotics that shamans used. Some of these sacras that Vanpool talked about in her article included narcotics that some shamans used to induce hallucinations or a trance like state (178).

I found that the group of friends I have who are Wiccan celebrate life and worship the Triple Goddess who is the symbol of virginity, fertility, wisdom and encompasses love. She is who the majority of Wiccans “pray” to although there is another god called The Horned god who is the sun god. Some Wiccans worship both, however I only feel a connection with the Triple Goddess. The first time I was part of a ritual which was Pagan it was not just Wiccans who were in attendance either. But I felt a very strong connection to the earth and to the nature that surrounds
Here the stages of life can be traced in the ceramic art of ancient Colombia, which highlights images of females from sexual maturity, through pregnancy, childbearing, and in their full mature ability−sitting on a bench is symbolic for being a shamanic leader and or chief. Giving birth to life and holding onto it were both considered miraculous and noteworthy in ancient times− maternal death during childbirth and infant mortality rates were high, and lifespans were short. Most people did not live long enough to get wrinkles. The pregnant woman holds her hand to the sides of her swollen belly.
