Mormonism’s Heavenly Mother has gone mainstream.
She is the topic of a number of books on sale at Deseret Book, which is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She has spawned essays (including an official one from the faith), poetry, a one-woman play, hymns, art shows, even academic debates.
She has been embraced as part of the church’s Young Women theme, which was updated in 2019 to say: “I am a beloved daughter of Heavenly Parents, with a divine nature and eternal destiny.”
There is a tidal wave of interest in this divine feminine among Latter-day Saints, observers say. It has become almost a movement.
