Ama

The Sumerians wrote word "ama", which means "mother" by drawing the Dingir symbol (𒀭) which means god, inside the symbol for the house. Does this indicate that the mother, birth giver, is the divine force which turns four empty walls into a home full of life?

In Neolithic Balkans house was equated with the mistress of the house, the oldest mother living in the house. Literally...

Early Neolithic figurines from Macedonia depicting anthropomorphised house and bread oven...They are symbolically equating Woman, Mistress of the house, with the house and the bread oven...

This notion was preserved in the Balkans until today...Until recently, in Makedonija, there was a ritual in which bride and groom entered the groom's house for the first time between the legs of his mother, the mistress of the house, who stood on two chairs...This equated the Mother (Baba means grandmother, mother, birth giver) with the House and the Family...

I talked about this in my post "Mistress of the house"...
