Our Goddess' are much older than this history.
But maybe someday in the far future they will be accepted.
Our rituals are fluid, ever changing. So just maybe you have inspired a Priestess to adapt these personifications into her work!
Blessed Be...

Marianne and Columbia aren't really Goddesses. Pagans mostly choose previously worshiped Gods/Goddesses to be their representation of the spirit(s). They could worship them if they wanted to though. I bet someone has somewhere. I haven't though.....Not that I'm opposed to it.

Oh, like Uncle Sam as well? Hmm, doesn't really seem a good target for worship, but I'm not a neo-pagan, so...

I'm not sure what you mean. I think all the god-forms are "abstractions" in that they embody the energies of the domains they are considered ruling over.

I also agree with Frodo. She said it better than I could have.
