goddess worship

Revering female deities

Goddess worship refers to religious or spiritual practices centered on venerating female deities, either as the supreme divine being or as part of a broader pantheon.

The term encompasses ancient traditions like those honoring Isis, Athena, or Kali, as well as modern neopagan movements such as Wicca that emphasize feminine divine energy.

In contemporary usage, goddess worship sometimes describes secular reverence for women, particularly in contexts of admiration or devotion: His attitude toward her bordered on goddess worship.
