The great cosmic mother : rediscovering the religion of the earth Cover Image

The great cosmic mother : rediscovering the religion of the earth / Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor.

Sjöö, Monica, 1938-2005 (Author). Mor, Barbara, (author).

Summary:

Drawing on religious, cultural, and archaeological sources to recreate the Goddess movement that is humanity's heritage, this classic spiritual guide illuminates how, before the patriarchy, women--and their instinctual bodies--were more connected to the earth, and each other, than ever previously known. Women have had profound impact on modern society as we know it today, harnessing their connection with the cycles of the moon and fertility of the earth to discover time cycles, art, agriculture, language, and other universal stapes previously believed to be invented by man.-- From Amazon.
