Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Magna Dea is Latin for "Great Goddess" and can refer to any major goddess worshipped during the Roman Republic or Roman Empire. Magna Dea could be applied to a goddess at the head of a pantheon, such as Juno or Minerva, or a goddess worshipped monotheistically. The term was used in hymns to various goddesses including Cybele.[1][2] The term "Great Goddess" itself can refer to a mother goddess in contemporary Neopagan and Wiccan religions.
