The Great Creatix

This goddess is entirely made of eggs, revealing that the ancient ones saw the Divine Feminine as the Great Creative Force in the Universe- the source of life, of abundance, of creation. For many people today, the modern idea of God is a masculine being, who can be a loving one, but can also be angry and punishing. However, the original concept of God has been Feminine from the time of the hunter-gatherers.
 
What changed? What caused such a dramatic split?  Can you guess? In my estimation, it was a cataclysmic event, or several of them. But that will wait for a future posting!

The Aecheulean Goddess

This is the very oldest goddess found so far. She is from the west Bank from 200,00- 800,000 BC! Wow! Imagine!  The Creatrix has been with us forever!
She has a vagina, breasts, and arms. And most interestingly, her head resembles a penis. Which brings to mind, that ancient cultures don’t exhibit the polarity of sexes that distinguishes ours, but  instead they exhibit a melding of male and female as one whole!  Whole and wholesome!
 
wow! who knew?
 
What feelings does our little goddess bring up for you? let me know.

The Great Creator Mother Goddess

​Venus of Willendorf from 40,000Bc in Germany is the image of the Great Creator Mother Goddess. But she is not the image of a real woman, she represents and Idea our ancestors expressed about the Creative Force of the Universe. And that force is the Divine Feminine.
 
Full, round, egg-shaped with a pregnant belly, ripe breasts, full thighs she is the essence of abundance, creativity, and nurture. Small hands and no feet indicate that doing and moving are not her focus. Nor is she a portrait, for there is no face. And that is the key to understanding this mysterious creation. Her head is a bee hive, sacred symbol of the Goddesss; for the bee hive represents  community , with all members working together to raise and nurture the young for the prosperity of the tribe.And let’s not forget that the community creates the greatest sweetness- honey!
 
There is one more feature to consider- her stunning ochre color. But I leave that to you to interpret. For this may be her most important aspect; the one that makes the Goddess so very powerful! What do you think it might represent?
 
Please let me know what you think!

Goddess Toys

These delightful little goddesses are actually children’s  toys from Catal Huyuk in Southern Turkey, the earliest known human settlement from 8,000 BC.
 
Imagine being a child and playing with these smooth shapely stone figures! How good they would feel in your hand and how powerful! You might immediately feel a magical connection to the feminine creative force that grows flowers and seeds and gives birth to animals and humans.
 
Toys are a window to the psyche and values of any group of humans. What mindset do these toys create for you?
 
Now imagine holding a Barbie doll, and what does that doll tell us about ourselves? Does she empower us women, or diminish us? (Don’t let the Superwoman logo fool you.)
 
Let me know. I would love to hear from you.

Four Little Goddesses

​ 
Many hundreds of little goddess figures have been found in Europe, the Middle East, and northern Africa.  Fitting  in the palm of your hand they were a talisman for the woman who seeks help from the Goddess in conceiving or giving birth. Many goddess figures show evidence of having been ritually buried. These four goddesses were created by hunter-gatherers.
 
For our ancestor, the Goddess was the embodiment of the life force  that they witnessed in the world around them; the force that animates the universe; that causes an egg to quicken and grow, the flower to open and create seeds,  the force that makes women and animals give birth to a new life.  It is the Goddess turns the great cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
 
Can you imagine holding one of these goddesses in the palm of your hand? How would it feel? Would you ask her to help you with a challenge you face?
 
Sometimes I think that maybe as children we play with dolls as reconnecting to a memory of a time when the woman was an embodiment of that force of life and love that animates the world
 
What do you think?
