WITH POPE FRANCIS’ imminent visit to Ireland stirring up a bit of controversy for numerous reasons, you might be seeking some some alternative figures to look to for spiritual guidance and inspiration.
So here’s a round-up of 5 Goddesses and how they might inspire you to live a better life.

Pachamama is a local name for ‘Mother Nature’.
There are many in South America who believe that problems will arise when people take too much from nature because they are taking too much from Pachamama.
Let her inspire you to look be a guardian for the planet and leave it in as good or better condition than when you found it.
3. Athena
Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom and is known a one of the three virgin goddesses in Greek mythology as she remained unswayed by the spells of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and motherhood.
Try to instill her wisdom in you by not texting back f**k boys.
No, not the Salafi jihadist terrorist organisation, but an Egyptian goddess. Isis is first mentioned in the Old Kingdom of Egypt, which was over 4,000 years ago (20th century BCE). She was said to have resurrected her slain husband, the divine King Osiris, and to have produced and protected his heir Horus.
She grew in power to become the most widely worshiped of all the Egyptian deities.
Her influence ended with the rise of Christianity in the fourth and fifth centuries CE but she’s thought to have influenced Christian beliefs and practices such as the veneration of Mary (the practice of worshiping Mary the mother of Jesus as a Saint).
Let her remind you that you to stay relevant you might have to shake up your act a little bit with effort.

If Pope Francis isn't doing it for you, here's 4 alternative Goddesses to worship
WITH POPE FRANCIS’ imminent visit to Ireland stirring up a bit of controversy for numerous reasons, you might be seeking some some alternative figures to look to for spiritual guidance and inspiration.
So here’s a round-up of 5 Goddesses and how they might inspire you to live a better life.
1. Mazu
A powerful Chinese Buddhist sea goddess. According to legend, she didn’t cry when she was born or in the months that followed.
I’d imagine her parents were beside themselves with joy.
Mazu remained quiet and pensive throughout her early child, which people say marked her out for being special.
Let her inspire you to hold your tongue.
She still has over 1,500 active temples, so she’s left a lasting impression despite being quiet.
2. Pachamama
Pachamama is the earth and time mother who is revered by the indigienous people of the Andes in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru primarily but also in Chile and Argentina. She’s presides over planting and harvesting, and has her own self-sufficient power to sustain the life on this earth.

There are many in South America who believe that problems will arise when people take too much from nature because they are taking too much from Pachamama.

Remember, when in doubt, unfollow him.
