In the paleolithic age, the ability to create life was considered the most significant miracle. The first deities were Mothers, represented as full-figured symbols of fertility. With the rise of agriculture and the ensuing patriarchal Priest class, the deities shifted into punishing, land-conquering, vengeful gods.   

Creating human life, an act reserved for women, became God’s power, stripping women of this important role within society. Slowly, a system of power was created in which men were the sole individuals with agency. The disappearance of the Goddess coincided with the rise of the patriarchy.    

Feminine Divine explores this dismantling of matriarchal culture by idolizing the sacrifices of women through a feminist critique of religious schema.
