A feminist or woman-centered perspective argues that pre-patriarchal societies were peaceful, woman centered societies. Ashe examines a variety of beliefs: the idea of the golden age where harmony and peace flourished; the idea than an Ancient Wisdom has been lost, discarded, or degraded; the power of shamanism; and cross-cultural numerology. This well-researched book draws on archaeology as well as modern goddess worship. This is a super book if you are at all interested in these archaic mythological beginnings.
