The primacy of a monotheistic or near-monotheistic "Great Goddess" is advocated by some modern [[matriarchists]] as a female version of, preceding, or analogue to, the [[Abrahamic religion|Abrahamic God]] associated with the historical rise of [[monotheism]] in the Mediterranean [[Axis Age]].

[[Mother Nature]] (sometimes known as ''Mother Earth'') is a common representation of [[nature]] that focuses on the life-giving and nurturing features of nature by embodying it in the form of the mother. Images of women representing mother earth, and mother nature, are timeless. In prehistoric times, [[goddess]]es were worshipped for their association with [[fertility]], [[fecundity]], and agricultural bounty. Priestesses held dominion over aspects of [[Inca Empire|Incan]], [[Assyria]]n, [[Babylonia]]n, [[Slavic peoples|Slavonic]], [[Roman mythology|Roman]], [[Greek mythology|Greek]], [[Religion in India|Indian]], and [[Iroquoian languages|Iroquoian]] religions in the millennia prior to the inception of [[patriarchy]].
