View full detailsIn ancient civilizations, belief systems centered on the life-giving forces of nature. To give meaning to life and natural phenomena, people symbolized each aspect of nature as a deity. Soil, essential to agriculture and a core provider of nourishment, was revered as a powerful force of fertility. This life-giving soil was often embodied in female forms, worshipped as fertility goddesses who took on various names and forms across different cultures. The nurturing Mother Goddess of early societies evolved into fertility goddesses who embodied specific powers and attributes. Our Winter Collection honors these powerful archetypes of femininity, fertility, and nature, celebrating their legacy across time and culture.
