Gaia is the earth mother, and her origins are pre-hellenic. Gaia is
seen as the primal essence of the earth, and she is one of the
primordial beings of the cosmos. Gaia is the oldest of the Goddesses,
and the personification of the All Mother, as she who gives life takes
life.
Gaia spang from the chaos, and bore from herself Pontus (Which is the
Sea), and Uranus (which is the sky), and married him. Their children
are the Titans, the Cyclopes, and the Hecatoncheires. Gaia and Tartarus
had the monster Typhon.
Gaia is regarded as all producing, and all nourishing. She is one of
the deities that prosides over marrage. Gaia possessed a talent of
fortelling the future. The main centre of divination on ancient Greese
was sacred to her, before it was won by Apollo. At one time Gaia was
the supreme Goddess, and her majesty was acknowledged by both men, and
Gods.
