The goddesses featured today are less well known than many other goddesses of the world. I am pleased to cast attention to these unsung heroines of our past times.

Thanks for sharing, always fun to learn new things 🙂
I agree, especially where mythology is concerned! Thanks for stopping by.
Interesting. I have to admit I was only familiar with three of those names. There is certainly an endless supply of myth and folklore in all cultures to keep inquiring minds entertained!
I was not familiar with most of them either. I love your statement about the never ending supply!
