Mother Goose

Was “Mother Goose” an anagram for “Mother Goddess”? Although Mother Goose is the polar opposite of Goddess -- profane, silly and inconsequential to the Goddess’s sacred and awesome profundity -- what better way to throw the Enemy off the track?

This excellent and concise article, “Mother Goose: A Scholarly Exploration," gives good reasons to suppose that Mother Goose was, indeed, none other than our Great Goddess in disguise.

You've never been around a goose, have you? They're smart, tough and will attack at the slightest provocation. I think they're an ass kicking symbol for the Goddess.

Also, I believe they are sacred to Hera.
