$15In the lead up to International Women’s Day, Dr Emma Woods (co-founder of/writer for MythCrafts, a free myth and folklore educational resource) takes a fascinating journey through the ancient world exploring powerful goddesses and feminine imagery from diverse cultures and traditions. These formidable female figures embodied creation, wisdom, sexuality, and sovereignty; these were the forces that shaped the human cosmos.
Yet, the rise of patriarchal societies and institutional religions sought to control and domesticate this ferocious feminine power. Through the layering of new mythologies, these revered forces were gradually reimagined, diminished, and demonised as female sexuality was cast as immoral and dangerous. Ancient stories were reinterpreted and rewritten by the patriarchy in an attempt to subjugate and control feminine divinity.
Join Dr Woods as she celebrates the strength and complexity of these feminine forces, unravelling cultural distortions and reclaiming their potent power.
