From publisher blurb:
Mystery cults are secret societies that exist within religious institutions. Like other secret societies, their existence is well known, but their rituals, lore, and objectives are concealed. Only the initiated are allowed access to these secrets.
This file provides an overview of mystery cults and specific details about the Cult of the Great Mother, the most important and influential deity in this setting.
Features:

The location of the Great Mother's major temples

A pantheon of secret, prehistoric deities
5 New Artifacts

If you are playing an Amazons Vs Valkyries campaign, this cult is essential. If you are playing another fantasy campaign with an Earth goddess, you should still check this out! And if your fantasy campaign setting doesn't have a powerful Earth Mother deity and paladins on bronze-golem steeds, it should!
