The Divine Feminine has been part of our world from the beginning. Evidence of female deities goes as far back as the Paleolithic ear ( 30,000 BCE). She was the supreme deity in Western cultures for thousands of years until the nomadic " sky god" cultures invaded her domain. Her subjugation to these male oriented societies is found in the literature of Egypt, the Middle East, and Greece. We can still find her hidden in symbols, scared geometry, cave carvings, mythology, and fairy tales. Jan will take you on a journey through the history of the Divine Feminine in her many forms from the distant past when She reigned supreme, through the " sky god" era of male dominance and female submission, to the present day recognition of Her place in history. Along the way she will show you the clues gleaned from ancient writings and symbols that tell the hidden stories of her survival through the millennia.
