About This Quiz

There are gods, and then there are goddesses. While many goddesses have long been thought to embody traits like beauty, love and fertility, they can also represent anything from war to death and destruction. Some of these female deities employ their supernatural strength to win battles, while others use their divine will to respond to the heartfelt pleas of mere mortals. Regardless, like you, they're obviously all queens. 

Yes, you know that you're a goddess, and it's not just because all the creeps at the bar tell you so. What, like you can help that you possess a formidable strength deep within that can wage one thousand wars and inspire centuries of divine worship? It's just the way you are. 

What you may not know about yourself, however, is which ancient goddess archetype you most closely match. Are you the crafty and venerable Persephone, or the sensitive and compassionate Guan Yin? Are you poised to cast eternal spells on your enemies or do you heal the world through your pureness of heart? Perhaps you're a shapeshifter deity who can transform into anything your heart desires. Take this quiz to find out which female deity you personify, once and for all!
