Re: “Sophie - Maiden of the Mere” under Procto-Indo-European Mythology - there are no references to this in the source P.I.E. Mythology article. There are no easily searchable sources about such a goddess. And the link leads only to the disambiguation page for the name Sophie. This appears to be a red herring.

Fictional Goddesses

[edit]

Hey, I was the original creator of the article. Fictional goddesses are going to be far more than historical goddesses. I am a Pagan and created this article as a resource. My personal preference for this article is that fictional goddesses are only added as to how they apply to NeoPaganism- i.e only pantheons popular amongst Pop-culture Pagans. How ot currently is is satisfactory. Thank you. Artheartsoul1 (talk) 23:28, 16 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

The meaning of this article

[edit]

I really miss the overall list of deities on Wikipedia, but for some reason, there is only this list of goddesses here, which... seems strange to me. What was the point of highlighting only goddesses here? What about gods or androgynous/hermaphroditic deities? It seems to me that it would be more correct to make this article a general list of all deities, not just goddesses. VolChekHi (talk) 08:53, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@VolChekHi: An overview of deities in general exists on Wikipedia not in the form of one list for all deities, but organized into more specific groupings presented at Lists of deities as well as Category:Deities. I did ask myself as well why we do have a specific goddesses list, but I guess there are some secondary sources talking about global characteristics of specifically female deities, more so than about (generically?) masculine deities. (There's also Category:Gods and Category:Androgynous and hermaphroditic deities, although no corresponding lists.) Daranios (talk) 16:18, 4 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Nonetheless, this page has a lot of male gendered gods, starting at about the Berber section. I am a very junior editor, but would like to do some work to clean this page up; some of the links are wildly incorrect, some of the gods are male. It seems like correcting some of the links and removing the wrong deities wouldn't be too difficult, and wouldn't require a lot of skills in writing and research.

@Expatiatrix: Well spotted! You are very welcome to correct any errors and remove any strictly male gods you come across. Thanks! Daranios (talk) 15:03, 8 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
