Dear Ariadne sisters, Great news! Max Dashu is offering a webcast on Ancient Crete, with two showings of the same talk Sat 23 Dec, 11am (Pacific); and again on Mon 25 Dec 4pm (Pacific). Max is another Foremother of Goddess spirituality movement, and for 50 years has been a pioneer of research into precious visual and linguistic evidence for women's empowerment and Goddess culture in antiquity. Her webcasts are packed with jaw-dropping images and information and will certainly expand our awareness and understanding of the Goddess in Ancient Crete. I encourage everyone to support Max by attending her online webcasts; signing up for her online courses; and/or joining her Patreon page (she calls it Matreon...). More information at www.suppressedhistories.net, www.veleda.net or https://www.facebook.com/Suppressed-Histories-Archives-333661528320/. I hope to see you there! With love and blessings of the Goddess to you all, xx, Laura (fb)
