If we believe, as Jung did, that the whole history of the human race is in some ways always alive in the psyche, we can reclaim images of the Sacred Feminine, which is an eternal archetype. She has shown herself to us from the earliest times of our civilization in cave paintings and primitive sculptures, in the great mythologies, and she appears in many guises in our present cultures. She is part of the fabric of our very being. In this slide lecture we will look at images of the Sacred Feminine throughout recorded history from Paleolithic times to the present, with special emphasis on the findings of Marija Gimbutas from the Neolithic period, to remind us of how she is alive within each of us today.
