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!

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.

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
