Once upon a time Women were honored as the Great Goddess’ earthly incarnation. In the Matriarchal Clans women raised the children, gathered most of the food, invented the first tools, domesticated fire and animals, and used plants for healing. Goddess Worship reigned for over 25,000 years.
The balance of power shifted towards the male around 3000BC as the peace-loving goddess-culture endured the invasion of the tribes of war-like, male-dominated nomads. These men subdued the goddess people, subjecting them to the power of the masculine.
Shall we explore the realm of the Mother Goddesses and Earth Goddesses a bit further? This is a subject of great interest, bringing enlightenment to the power of the feminine, and the role these divine beings play in our lives. I will point you in the direction of some great sources of information relating to the Mother Goddesses and Earth Goddesses.

Interesting… What is a Goddess? by Genie Webster
Here’s another book which will shed more light on how we became a patriarchal society rather than keeping with the matriarchal - which was much more nurturing and balanced - Mother Earth, Mother Nature.
The Alphabet Versus The Goddess - Leonard Shlain.
Thank you MorganLighter! I love to read, and this looks like a wonderful book to add to my considerable collection.

I am happy that you liked it Cochise! This is a topic of great interest to me, as I am fascinated with learning about our ancient history, gaining wisdom from the teachings of many different cultures. I have found the original instructions were startlingly similar all around the Earth.
I am enjoying myself in this moment, and thank you for your kind wishes. May you enjoy each moment as well.
