God, She's Hot

If there was no Goddess Temple of Orange County, someone would have to invent one > God, She's Hot

Conservators at the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta are in the process of reuniting a Roman marble statue of “Goddess of Love” Venus (or Aphrodite, to you Greeks) with—for possibly the first time in 170 years—her head.

The High Court in the East Indian city of Calcutta has quashed a case against leading Bengali writer Sunil Gangopadhyay for allegedly defiling a Hindu goddess, Saraswati. Gangopadhyay testified that he was joking when he said he kissed an idol of the “Goddess of Learning” to satisfy his desire.

An Ipswich, Massachusetts, toymaker has released The Goddess Dolls, which “symbolize the positive and empowering aspects of the Goddess tradition, such as love, wisdom and compassion.”
