I do feel that the Seven Mothers Cult is still a recognizable concept within the provincial church. It is mentioned in the Glorantha: Intro p131 ("To convert the provinces, the New Monks created the Church of the Seven Mothers, or the Provincial Church. Instead of worshipping the Goddess directly, worship of the Mothers of the Goddess is emphasized, drawing upon parallels between the Seven Mothers and the Orlanthi Lightbringers.")
