Of late, however, scientists have resurrected the name of an ancient goddess, Gaia, to express the idea of Earth as a living body on which we depend for life.

Earth is a rare jewel in the universe, and Satya says Earth is to seed the whole Galaxy with its life-forms in 2012.

In the Greek cosmology, Gaia was born of Chaos, the primordial force that preceded creation.

  The Gaia Theory sees planets, at least the Earth, as more than just balls of rocks and mud. They don’t think that Earth has life  on  it. They theorize that Earth is life itself — it’s living. The Gaia theory states that living things and all their non-living and inorganic surroundings evolve together as a single complex living organism. This

Over the past few decades, the popularity of the Earth goddess Gaia has spread widely throughout the Pagan world. For Wiccans, she is a primordial archetype of the Mother Goddess, giving birth to and nurturing all of creation.

Wiccans call on Gaia to assist in various forms of divination. She is also invoked for magic involving transformation of all kinds, and bringing creative projects to fruition, along with abundance and prosperity.

Perhaps more than any other deity, Gaia teaches the necessity of balance, as well as gratitude. For this reason, she is often worshipped at Autumn sabbats, but any point along the Wheel of the Year is appropriate for honoring the Earth.
