The Ancient Religion of the Goddess

In prehistoric and early historic periods of human development, religions existed in which people revered their supreme creator as female.

The Great Goddess, the Divine Ancestress, was worshipped from the beginning of the Neolithic period, around 7000 BCE, until the closing of the last Goddess Temples around 500 CE. Some authorities extend that period back into the Upper Palaeolithic, around 25,000 BCE.

What had life been like for women who lived in a society that venerated the wise and valiant female Creator?

Exploring the Ancient Religion of the Goddess is a learning journey which will change how you view the world, and yourself.
