i myself ussualy get confused of whether is Dibella or Mara.... They are similar, yet different. Both followers of Mara and Dibella preach love in some ways. Although Mara is all about spirit of love, compasion and family. Dibella more about physical acts of love and femenine beauty, as well as being a patron of Travelers.

One thing always confuses me though. "Mara the godess of love and compassion. Handmaiden of Kyne, mother of men and lady of the storms." The part about mother of men and lady of the storms refers to Kyne, not Mara right? My understanding always was that Kyne gave birth to men, but some lore statement made me confused about that and at first glance sounding like Mara was the mother of men.

Oh and one sure way of knowing which one is Mara and which one is Dibella is to remember, that Mara's statue isn't naked, it's Dibella's.
