Does Mother Earth mind being called Gaia?
No. She has been known by many different names and by many different cultures and civilizations. The rich and imaginative stories of ancient Greece included theories about life, death and the wonders of nature. Mythology personified an archetypal mother goddess called Gaea who helped and guided humanity in a spirit of partnership and cooperation. Although attempts to personify the earth does not do it justice, the reverence and stewardship embraced by the ancient Greeks still warms Mother Earth to the core. Gaia is simply a name that suggests affection and respect for the natural world.
