IV. Conclusion

In many places, the people believe in a local deity. This is a small god that lives in and takes care of a specific place. In a few places I’ve been to, there was a female local deity.

In Da Nang, there is a lady buddha that is as tall as a tower. She stands in the bay looking over the waters. She keeps fishermen safe from dangerous storms.

In Tbilisi, on top of a hill overlooking the city is a giant female statue called the Mother of Georgia. In one hand she holds a bowl of wine for friends, and in the other hand a sword for enemies.

These are 2 or 3 places which I’ve been to that have female local deities. There are many more across the world.
