The legacy ofthe sacred feminine The Chalice and the Blade tells a new story of our cultural origins. It showsthat warfare and the war of the sexes are neither divinely nor biologicallyordained. It provides verification that a better future is possible—and is in factfirmly rooted in the haunting dramas of what happened in our past.

This book examines prehistoric period cultures that appear to have operated in more of a partnership society instead of a dominance society. When it comes to these earlier periods, it leaves much to inference and conjecture based on limited archeological evidence available; but the study has proven fascinating and provided much to give pause and mull over.

RJHowe Interesting work, right up there with Murray‘s work. Lots of scholarship since then, but a good starting point. 6y
