The Great Cosmic Mother (book)

"The Great Cosmic Mother" by Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor reveals how ancient goddess-centered cultures viewed the Earth and fertility as sacred, contrasting with later patriarchal societies. The book explores the spiritual and societal significance of matriarchal traditions, emphasizing the divine feminine’s role in creation, nurturing, and harmony. It combines archaeology, mythology, and feminist perspectives to argue that honoring the goddess was central to early human spirituality. Ultimately, the book advocates reconnecting with these ancient, earth-centered beliefs to promote balance and reverence for nature and feminine power today.
