Today while filling out a contest sheet in the newspaper, I stumbled across the 'bar of truth'. It reads 'What is your religion?'. I stared into the blank space, pondering what to write. Buddhism? Nawh I already wrote that for my report card. christianity? I can't for I am not truly one. Frustrated, I shredded the papers apart.

What religion am I? I've asked my parents several times. The only answer I could collect was 'nature'. And they said no more, no matter how hard I asked. But I don't want to be viewed as an atheist, I believe in a god and its hard to describe her. My mother said its only natural as she has many faces and many identities.

I searched around the internet hoping to find something with a relation to both nature and a female deity. And there it was, infront of my white screen; The mother goddess. The scrolled up and down and soon I realized why my mother said she had, had many identities. Ranging from the Egyptians ,Sumerian, Mesopotamian, Greek, Celtic ,Germanic ,Turkic ,Siberians and even christianity - she appeared

The Earth Mother is a motif that appears in many mythologies. The Earth Mother is a fertile goddess embodying the fertile earth and typically the mother of other deities, and so, also are seen as patronesses of motherhood.

Even among those who are non-believers, expressions such as Mother Earth and Mother Nature are in common usage, personifying the Earth's ecology as a fertile and sustaining mother.

"She watches over all of us, her arms formed the clouds that slowly shaded us, she cries at how we suffered and provides us with water, she balances every life to make sure every life get its equal oppurtunities, she feeds us fresh and nutritous foods to drive away our hunger. However, her rage at humanity can be seen through the crushing waves of a tsunami, the geological movement of an earthquake, the inferno formed from a volcano and the gusting winds of a hurricane."

Strange as it is, I felt relieved. I am not atheist, but I m one without a religion. However, that doesn't mean I don't believe in a god. Before I say anything else, I'll like to state that this post is in no way to offend people of other religion. Infact believing in the Mother goddess doesn't mean I can't believe in other religions, as long as it accepts a believer of another. My real religion is of druidic origins incase you were wondering. Believing that everything that nature created is sacred and is worthy of worship itself and its our duty as a believer to preserve and protect every single one , of life.
