So many goddesses, and so little time!! We've neglected many of them at the website, paying the most attention to the goddesses from Greek mythology.

If you find that we've omitted the names of any goddesses that you feel strongly about contact us and we'd be happy to add your goddess to our To-Do list!

Names are important, so we'd like to pay homage to some of the goddesses we've neglected and promise that we plan to include more of them from different cultures on our main pages soon!

(For extensive information about the Goddesses in Greek Mythology and the names identified with corresponding Roman deities See Bulfinch's Mythology. )
