Trinkets of the Mountain Mother
Fourth from my 2023 Pride line is the image of Kybele, the Great Mother, Mother of the Gods.
Cybele / Kybele is the Phrygian Mother of the Gods, syncretized and identified with the Greek Titan Rhea, and worshiped in Rome as Magna Mater. It is her cult into which Dionysos was initiated to cure him of the madness inflicted by Hera. She is famous for the frenzied dancing and drumming of her rites, and for her gender-deviant priesthood – who may have included transwomen and/or eunuchs.
On the front of the talisman the goddess is shown on her throne, flanked by lions. She holds a pomegranate in one hand and a frame drum in the other. On the back is an image of two pine trees, like that found at her shrine in a temple of Aesclepius.
This talisman was commissioned by author Ariana Serpentine as a part of her personal devotional work, made available to the public by her astounding generosity, and included in this year’s Pride line at her particular request. You can find Ariana’s book, Sacred Gender, wherever fine books are sold.
* Talisman is one inch in diameter with an image on each side.
* Available as a pendant with an upeye suitable for a 3mm chain or with three rings suitable for stringing as a rosary piece.
* Available in sterling silver or red bronze.
This piece is not consecrated. That is your responsibility to do in accordance with your tradition or gnosis.

Eagerly, I celebrate the Mother of All, Rheia Antaia Delighting in the mountains, among the trees and animals Grass yielding beneath your feet, rejoicing as you dance Queen of Beasts, adoring revelry with the cries, and harmony of music You sing without a care, carrying on like the buzzing bees, Just like your attendants who wordlessly followed your orders It seizes you as it flows through you and your rich tresses sway An unforgettable image I mustn't delay in singing my many praises, All for the wild and enthusiastic Kretan goddess of the earth Far-famed, enthroned, always near your most dear children in worship

Orphic Hymn 13 to Rhea preformed by Bettina Joy de Guzman Link
Dea magna, dea Cybebe, dea domina Dindymiprocul a mea tuus sit furor omnis, era, domo:alios age incitatos, alios age rabidos.
Great goddess, goddess Cybele, goddess and mistress of Dindymus, may all your insanity, Lady, be far from my home. Drive others to frenzy, drive others mad.
(Catullus 63.91–93)
