The Ancient Moon Goddess is provocative and emotionally charged. It will resonate with feminist readers, fans of Joseph Campbell, Marija Gimbutas, and anyone who likes bold, \"big picture\" narratives about religions' origins and evolution.\n-Literary Titan Review, 2026\n\nThe Ancient Moon Goddess is a major advance in perspective, taking us beyond the contributions of Joseph Campbell, Marija Gimbutas, and Riane Eisler.\n-Jonathan Young, PhD, Psychologist\nFounding curator, Joseph Campbell and Marija Gimbutas Archives\n\nWelcome to stunning new thinking …\n\nAuthors Dale O’Neal and Arthur Waters deliver a compelling narrative with striking images that connects ancient Goddess worship to the beliefs and practices of modern religions, particularly Judaism and Christianity.\n\nReaders of The Ancient Moon Goddess should prepare themselves to learn how a Stone Age misconception about conception gave rise to the civilization of the Moon Goddess. Her world was then crushed by a patriarchal civilization grounded in an equally flawed idea about conception. The book calls for a complementary relationship between the sexes based on the correct view of conception. Discover what convinced the Ancients that the Moon was a real woman. Learn why sex was central to Goddess worship. Discover how patriarchy threw over the long-established matriarchy. Learn why Stone-agers ate their gods and kings. See how the death and resurrection of the Goddess and Jesus mirror each other. The Ancient Moon Goddess builds on the work of mythologist Joseph Campbell, scientist and futurist Riane Eisler, and anthropologist Marija Gimbutas. It shows how our Stone Age ancestors constructed a Goddess-centered culture based on a magical view of the cosmos, which to them seemed self-evident.\n\nThere is no question that for many readers The Ancient Moon Goddess will be disruptive. To put it mildly, it is unsettling to learn how patriarchy crushed the Goddess; how Judaism buried her; and how Christianity hides her.\n\nDr. Dale O’Neal is an author, clinical psychologist, former minister and music minister, and a lifelong student of ancient history and mythology.\n\nArthur Waters has been a writer, editor, freelancer, a student of English literature, and a lawyer. Mythology has fascinated him since childhood.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FR9SZ2SF\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0FR9SZ2SF.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:O'Neal, Dale W|Waters, Arthur W\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
