Goddess-Exclusive Mythology
searched on Google, BananaSlug, Yahoo, and Ask: goddess exclusive mythology, lack of gods/abundance of goddesses, pure goddess religion
Hey! I'm writing a fantasy book, and my religious system consists of eighteen goddess. (Eighteen seemed necessary, one for every month of their year.) I'm trying to see if there are any other religions or any mythology that is goddess-exclusive as well, both to confirm or deny my originality on the idea and to gain an insight on how other such religions might work.
Now, I know that in most mythology, regardless of the origin, there tends to be a kind of hierarchy. I don't feel like I can do that with my goddesses, though, because they were all created by one very powerful woman. They're more like sisters. Each has her own specific duties, however, and I think that will help me avoid most of my problems.
Just in case you feel the need to know more, here's the story of their arrival and all of their names. Thanks ahead of time for your help.
