Demeter Goddess Pendant from Sacred Earth Designs

Demeter is the Greek earth mother goddess who taught humans how to grow, preserve, and prepare grain. By teaching humans to sow and plough they could grow food, settle and prosper. Demeter is the goddess of the harvest and was esponsible for the fertility of the land and bringing forth the fruits of the earth.

In Greek mythology Demeter is the most generous of the great Olympian goddesses. She was worshipped at spring festivals when the grains sprouted anew and in the fall, when the grains were harvested. She was also worshipped in fireless rituals, her offerings being unprocessed foods and grains.

The Greek goddess Demeter is an ancient goddess beloved for her service to mankind in giving them the gift of the harvest, the reward for cultivation of the soil. Demeter is also the only Greek goddessv who empathized with the human suffering and grief, having experienced it fully herself (see Persphone). Demeter is truly the nurturer of humankind.

My Demeter Goddess Pendant is a full figured earth mother, glazed a deep navy blue and wrapped with sterling silver wire in a pattern resembling stalks of grain.
