Summary

The mythical symbol of Mari, an icon of Basque popular culture, taking Barandiaran as its main reference, is a goddess or Mother Earth (Amalur). We will value the nature of the images and the worldview that they represent: emptiness, energy, femininity, earthiness and the image of motherhood. We will refer to herphysical appearances, mythical representations and human perceptions of her, discussing to what extent the earthly consideration of her, as a goddess, native and ancient, have any meaning in the current popular cultural context.
