Goddess Tara - Protection for Safe Path to Enlightenment - Tara is the Feminine Goddess that governs the Underworld, the Earth and the Heavens, birth, death and regeneration, love and war, the seasons, all that lives and grows, the Moon cycles, Luna, feminine and creation. Tara is seen as a beautiful woman of white complexion, long golden hair and blue eyes. However, my Goddess Tara has one purple eye and one blue eye. She is an angel in my mind and wears her wings. She is the most popular figure in the Tibetan pantheon of deities, the beautiful goddess Tara, (pronounced tah' rah) whose name means 'Star' - originated in Indian Hinduism as the Mother Creator, and her many representations spread from Ireland to Indonesia under many different names.

Adopted by Buddhism from Hinduism by the 3rd century B.C. , Tara appears in Buddhism, Jainism, and particularly, Tibetan Lamaism, as a complex array of manifestations: goddess of ascetism and mysticism, mother creator, protectress of all humans as they cross the sea of life.
