Legend says these warrior maidens ruled over a large part of Asia Minor. They worshipped Mare Goddess Demeter and wolf-running Artemis, may have been the first culture to tame horses, and were much feared by the post-patriarchal Greeks. Most Amazon images were destroyed to instill the subordination of women. Reclaim her!

Baal Plaque 7"

Baal, Lord of the High Places. So omnipresent was worship of this wild god of the hilltop that his name was carried across prehistoric Europe. The Irish feast Beltain and the Norse god Balder are but two inheritors of this bull-horned deity's potency. Here he is depicted on the Ras Shamra (Syria) stella, wielding thunder-club & lightening bolt spear. Represented as an upright stone or lingam, Baal was consort to Astarte at least 1700 BCE.

Gilgamesh with Lion 8"

This Babylonian demi-god made a famous quest. But when he finally found the sacred rose guaranteeing eternal life, it was stolen from him by a serpent, namely the Goddess. He met her disguised as Siduri, an incarnation of Ishtar who bears the sacred beer (or wine) of ecstasy. She taught him to "live for today," enjoying the good things of life such as children, lovemaking with his wife, good food and drink. This "carpe diem" theme becomes an underlying value of later Pagan belief, and is in distinct contrast to our modern Hebrew-Christian inheritance. Note this god's lion and serpent totem animals.

Stag Deer God 7.5" pewter

Like Bull Gods, the Stag God has symbolized fertility and abundance since Neolithic times. This famous image comes from Anatolian goddess culture (the Alaca Hoyuk site, in central Turkey, dating to c. 5500 BCE) and is called the "Stag of Seven Tines." Since antler tines are fast-growing, they are a metaphor for plant fertility as well. This is one of the first sacred images that was cast in iron.

Standing Male Worshipper 7 1/4"

This Sumerian figure was placed before the devotional image of a Mesopotamian deity. His supplicating pose, with clasped hands and wide-eyed gaze, is meant to serve as a constant reminder of the requests made by the person who placed him there. Serving the same purpose as a votive candle, he kept the prayers active in the mind of Deity.

This standing worshiper, was found in the "Square Temple" at Tell Asmar, perhaps dedicated to the god Enlil, considered the most powerful Mesopotamian god during most of the third millennium B.C.E. Similar statues were often inscribed with the names of rulers and their families in order to pray perpetually on behalf of the person it represented.
