Summary/Abstract: Supreme Being is in Heaven. Heaven reveals directly the transcendence, strength and sacredness. For primitive men the original power of Supreme Beings lies in the fact that they had created the world, life and man. For the religious man the Divine Being is conceived in two coexisting aspects: angry and gentle, forgiving and relentless, terrifying and restful. Any goddess aspires to be a Mother Goddess, spanning all her attributes and functions. For archaic peoples a several number of Supreme Beings were androgynes; androgynia represents the perfection of unconditional primordial status.
