What are different names, from different cultures and subcultures, that ya'll know for Mother Earth?
I'd love to gather them, along with something of their origin, if you know it.
Gaia is the Greek goddess of the Earth. She gave birth to the titans, who built the mountains, and carved the rivers.

Thu, July 16, 2009 - 5:08 PMIn a way the green Tara represents the Earth as a Nurturer and remover of fears, from ancient Chinese Buddhist culture.
As with one female there is always a male compliment, this in another way is why this prayer may be relative to Males also provided the utmost respect is give to the union of the two Tara, in other words the two Bodhisattva's..--www.youtube.com/watch

Thu, July 16, 2009 - 5:27 PMAlso the Capricorn Archetype represents the high point of the trinity of Earth signs..Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, western Astrology, in a way this is a larger concept than 1, 2, or 3 individuals, but still relative yet the Bodhisattva is greater in many way relative to Bodhidharma.
Peace and Blessing
The Earth although is still the Earth, we should Love her cherish her and sustain her, this is also relative if we say he, she or even it, the Earth is Sacred, and yet there may be other Earths or Earth compliments even Giants of the universe relative to and from studies of other faiths such as spoken of by Krishna & others but to relate implies the respect and in many ways rule of Love and Peace, the ideal being is harmony with nature, respect and Peace makers... -
