Hathor The Cow Goddess
Have you seen Hathor the Cow Goddess? If not, take a peek and the funniest mom . . . er, cow? you’ll ever meet. Hathor the Cow Goddess, a superhero who makes milk, takes on mainstream parenting with a dash of humor and common sense.
Heather Cushman-Dowdee is the artist responsible for Hathor the Cow Goddess. Heather is an artist in LA and has written books and articles about attachment parenting.
Here is an article by Heather in Families for Conscious Living. While I don’t always agree with her methods, her approach is “be the change you want to see in the world” and I like that. She doesn’t mind the looks, stares and whispers as long as she is showing other moms and dads how to more peacefully and naturally parent their precious children. While she touts a “this way is best” attitude that can be seen as abrasive to some, her heart is in the right place and her passion is to be commended.
As for Hathor The Cow Goddess, she can be seen in comics ranging from the subjects of breastfeeding and childbirth to parenting politics and unschooling. The archives date back to 2002 and there is plenty to read from the “natural” perspective of parenting. Many attachment parents will find themselves giggle and nodding in agreement to the Cow Goddess’s words.
Hathor The Cow Goddess can also be found in books and a calender. Read about the unassisted birth of her Heather’s daughter Gwyneth here.
