Subject: Explore the Evolution of Goddess Beginning with our Human Origins in Africa
To: toyin <toyin.adepoju@gmail.com>
Hi toyin,
[ The ] Goddess is at the foundation of many religious and spiritual traditions, for the origin of everything is the Divine Mother. This is certainly a bold statement to make, and yet it does warrant consideration.
In the Goddess Traditions & Early Tantra course, we will look at the evolution of Goddess beginning with our human origins in Africa. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we will examine archaeology, art, mythology, history, and ritual in our consideration of Goddess connections between Paleolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures into the early Kaula and Shakta period of South Asia.
We will also look to textual sources (Rg Veda and Devi Mahatmyam) and the prevalence, significance, and function of Devi (Goddess) within these texts. Over 30,000 years of non-textual evidence will offer an alternate and essential understanding of prehistory, history, and goddess-centered cultures across continents and millennia.
This much-needed course opens the conversation to include more than half of the human race and more than 80% of our human history that, for the most part, have been omitted from the discussion.
