Hello!
So, usually when one thinks of large, dove-like wings on otherwise human looking beings they think of angels rather than God. But, I'm wondering how people feel about Dea being depicted with wings. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I almost feel like some of the most primordial forms of Dea are winged. Isis, Sophia, Shekinah, and probably more. I also see the Greek & Roman goddess Eos/Aurora as being a patriarchal rendering of the Daughter, and she is also depicted with wings. I remember reading that the early Christian church adapted this attribute of Aurora for their angel depictions.
