Sanctuaries of the goddess

Sanctuaries of the goddess

By Peg Streep

Book Description

Embark on a profound spiritual expedition that unveils the sacred feminine power that once flourished across ancient landscapes. Peg Streep invites modern seekers to rediscover the divine feminine presence that guided countless generations before the rise of familiar religious traditions.

This illuminating exploration reveals how prehistoric peoples across Western and Central Europe and the Near East honored a powerful Goddess who embodied nature's creative and transformative forces. Through her many manifestations, this ancient deity represented the profound mysteries of existence, death, and rebirth that continue to resonate with spiritual seekers today.

Streep masterfully combines stunning visual documentation with insightful narrative to resurrect these forgotten sacred spaces. Readers will virtually journey through remarkable locations, from France's mystical Lascaux caves to Malta's extraordinary underground Hypogeum chambers, from Ireland's enigmatic Dowth and Knowth sites to Crete's mountain sanctuaries. Each destination offers glimpses into humanity's earliest spiritual practices and the reverence once accorded to feminine divine energy.

The book weaves together archaeological discoveries with spiritual significance, allowing contemporary readers to connect with ancient wisdom traditions. Through careful examination of artifacts, sculptures, and sacred architecture, Streep illuminates how these prehistoric communities understood and celebrated the Goddess's presence in their daily lives.

For those drawn to exploring feminine spirituality, ancient wisdom, or the sacred geography of our ancestors, this work provides both visual splendor and meaningful insight into humanity's earliest expressions of divine connection.
