Minoan Goddess Of Snakes , Crete Statuette Mother Statue , Crete Civilization

Minoan Goddess of Snakes. Ceramic statuette reproduction from the Daughter of Snakes from Knossos Palace in Crete. Mother Snake Goddess, has snakes entwined on her body or in her hands. Since the figurine is only found in houses & in small shrines in the palaces, we believe that she is some sort of domestic goddess or goddess of the house (a kind of guardian angel-in many regions of the world, including Greece, the household snake is worshipped & fed as a domestic guardian angel).

Review by Julie Allen on 30 Nov 2015 : I saw the originals of these Minoan snake goddess statuettes when I was travelling in Greece forty years ago, & now I am very proud that I have a copy of my own! She arrived perfectly intact, so thank you to the makers for such careful packaging & for your kind note enclosed. I am enjoying telling people who come to my home about the ancient stories which link us back to ancient Cretan history & early feminine spiritualities. 438 Minoan Goddess Of Snakes , Crete Statuette Mother Statue , Crete Civilization
