Pretty sure it was Christianity under the guise of stamping out heresy that cut away the sanctity of the stag in the wood.
@civilwarbore ...so I suspect that taking her away from it, or making her acceptable by Christianizing her in a way, the woman remains.

@AdmiralHip the woman who remains though is the medieval saint, not the goddess who might flood a village that angered her, you know? -
@civilwarbore that's a good point actually, female saints lost the power of their goddess counterparts. Brigid comes to mind especially. - Show replies

@AdmiralHip she was diminished, made subordinate, declawed and defanged. -
@civilwarbore which is why it's always interesting to me that those female saints who didn't sit back and shut up were reviled by so many.
