The goddess concept is found in many cultures. The ancient Romans had Venus (Aphrodite to the Greeks). In Egypt, there was Isis, Kali avenges evil in Hindu theology. Nordic mythology has the Valkyries. Some of the earliest artworks discovered are the nude "venus" statues of prehistoric Europe, which were perhaps fertility figures. By creatuing an image of nude women in a temple, you are merely expressing of an ancient Jungian archetype which has existed throughout human existence.of The pose on the right, however, would seem to owe more to New Orleans' notorious Storyville redlight district than to Boticelli. Still, the Goddess would no be be pleased with your offering.
