Hello Everyone! I am looking for resources and other peoples experiences with Cybele/Magna Mater. I've heard of In Search of God the Mother and Mother of the Gods already, As well as some books on Religio Romana. Thanks!

It seems like individual books about her may be rare. Many books about mystery religions will have a chapter about her cult however, such as “The Ancient Mysteries: A Sourcebook of Sacred Texts.” By Martin Meyer. That’s often the case when you have very specific interests in historical paganism; Your subject of choice may be just one chapter in a book with a fairly broad scope.

Have you seen her Theoi Page?
