fertility goddess
Crop-blessing divine figure
A fertility goddess is a deity associated with reproduction, abundance, and the earth's generative powers.
Such figures appear across cultures—Ishtar, Demeter, Freyja—typically connected to agriculture, childbirth, and sexuality.
The term also applies figuratively to women seen as embodying fecundity or maternal abundance: With six kids, the neighbors joked she was a fertility goddess.
