The Goddesses and Gods of Old Europe 6500-3500 BC - by Marija Gimbutas (Paperback)

This magnificent book by Marija Gimbutas, "The Living Goddesses," is a groundbreaking study of ancient European cultures that will captivate anyone interested in mythology, archaeology, or the history of early humanity.

With stunning illustrations and meticulous analysis, Gimbutas sheds light on the matrilineal village culture that existed in southeastern Europe between 6500 and 3500 B.C., before it was overwhelmed by patriarchal Indo-Europeans. Through her examination of rich mythical imagery, Gimbutas reveals the early human understanding of the cosmos, their relations with nature, and the complementary roles of male and female.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in unlocking the secrets of our ancient past and gaining a deeper appreciation for the power of the feminine divine.
