Sinossi
In questa rilettura dei miti religiosi a noi più vicini, l'autrice narra la storia della Dea che ha regnato sovrana tra il Mediterraneo e il Medio Oriente, venerata quale saggia creatrice e fonte di ordine cosmico, e non solo quale simbolo di fertilità e bellezza come la religione giudaico-cristiana vorrebbe far credere. Merlin Stone documenta la lunga fase del contrastato passaggio dai culti matriarcali a quelli patriarcali, culminati con il declassamento della Dea a creatura debole e depravata, come racconta una delle leggende più comuni, quella di Adamo ed Eva. Questo testo ha influenzato generazioni di donne, spingendole a ripensare la propria spiritualità e il proprio ruolo nella società moderna.

Women of the world, read this book. This is your legacy, your power, your truth. It explains what men with the help of church and organized religion have taken from us, and have suppressed and persecuted for thousands of years (this book was published in 1976, the year I was born, but it was an eye

Well...the writing style, the sloppy arguments, and the messy research kind of made me want to pull my hair out while I was reading this. Stone absolutely made an important point that archaeologists and anthropologists should not make the assumption that everything is, was, and always will be male-c Leggi tutto
Ok I am not done reading yet but am enjoying myself enough to keep going. I love reading about pre-colonial civilizations and religions, mythologies, and spiritual practices in particular. BUT this book is old and certainly outdated in some of its frameworks. What sticks out to me right away is that Leggi tutto
