Understanding Your Archetype
Images sourced from Pinterest
Goddesses of the Earth are passionate about the environment and the natural world. They love being in nature, especially in the pristine wilderness where they can soak in the power of Mother Earth. They understand that the planet is a living being and are fierce advocates for conservation efforts and animal rights. Nothing is more important to them than caring for the Earth and her plant and animal children.
Earth Goddesses have a calm, grounded energy, with roots as deep as the trees they love. They are kind and gentle, and their tender hearts want to solve the world’s problems. In many ways, they are as innocent as the animals they fight to protect. Their youthful energy (no matter their age) drives their commitment to find workable solutions to big issues like climate change, and they are methodical, determined, and resourceful in their approach to problem-solving.
