(DTTG) - Abstract: The worship of Mother Goddess is a folk belief that has existed for a long time, clearly reflecting the characteristics of Vietnam’s rice-farming culture. Regarding its origins, some researchers believe that the worship of Mother Goddess dates back to prehistoric times when the Vietnamese people worshipped natural deities combined with the highly developed belief in female deities in a matriarchal society (referring to female deities as Mother, Mau, Me), through the process of cultural transformation, the image of natural deities shifted to that of human deities. The worship of the Mother Goddess as an idol with the powers of procreation and protection for humanity of the worship belief of the Mother Goddess has helped this belief system easily integrate into folk life, taking deep root in society and the spiritual lives of each individual.
