More About Dark Goddesses

Many cultures around the world have myths about light and dark goddesses. In Greek mythology, for instance, some dark goddesses include Eris , the goddess of chaos; Eileithyia , the goddess of childbirth and labor (we know it sounds positive—just trust us, she’s one bad deity!), and Hecate , the goddess of witchcraft and magic.

However, many goddesses possess both light and dark qualities—for example, Kali , sometimes considered a “dark goddess,” is revered in Hindu spirituality as a goddess of both destruction and creation. And in Celtic mythology, Morrigan , goddess of war and fate, is considered either a bad omen or an empowering one, depending on the situation. Hera , of Roman mythology, is often considered a “light” goddess, but she’s actually very vengeful and vain.

A goddess’s designation as either “light” or “dark” frequently depends on who is telling their story!
