The “Seven Goddess Pendant” symbolizes the seven Greek Goddesses in the petals of a flower.  At the center is a seven-pointed star, symbolizing the sparkling light of the Earth Goddess, Gaia; who gave birth to us all.  From the stars bursts forth the seven petals, each signifying one goddess. The petals interlace, representing the overlapping of Goddesses within us; their strengths and weaknesses apparent in different phases of our lives.

The Seven Greek Goddesses are Athena, Artemis, Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Persephone and Aphrodite.

Athena is the Goddess of wisdom and also the goddess of crafts.  Artemis is the Goddess of the hunt and goddess of the moon: she was the archer with perfect aim.  Hestia is the Goddess of the hearth and Temple; Wise-women; Hestia is insightful, looking inward to intuitively sense what is going on.  Hera is the Goddess of Marriage; her name means "Great Lady". Hera is committed to the role of wife, which brings both joy and sorrow into her life.  Demeter is the Goddess of Grain, the Nurturer, and Mother. Demeter was worshiped as the "Mother Goddess" and the mother of the maiden, Persephone.  Persephone is the queen of the Underworld and Maiden Goddess. She is worshiped as the "Kore" (young girl). The Goddess Persephone represents the duality of the child-woman.  Aphrodite is the Goddess of Love and Beauty. Aphrodite governs a woman's enjoyment of love and beauty and of sensuality and sexuality.  Aphrodite's influence is felt in a woman's need to procreate, as well as her need to be artistically creative. Aphrodite demands intensity, in total absorption in who she is with or what she is doing.

The seven Greek Goddesses personified strong feminine qualities, the archetypes of which reside in all women. Understanding these archetypes and becoming aware of which goddess or goddesses are ruling our individual psyches, can open new depths of understanding for women.

Psychologist, C.G. Jung believed that women are influenced by these inner forces (archetypes), which are part of our collective unconscious. Tapping into this knowledge can raise a woman's awareness. It can help us find new personal meaning in our lives, or even empower us to alter our life course and start a new path toward enriching our souls.
