The data concerning the theology of the Divine Mother dates back to Paleolithic times and beyond. Here, She represents EVERYTHING that existed in the Universe, in Nature and in Human Culture.
The religion of the AFRIKAN MOTHER blossomed in the Golden High Cultures of the Nile Valley, Indus Valley, Crete, Sumer, Catal Huyuk, Inca, Maya and many other Great Civilizations of pre-OUR-story.
Many if not all of these civilizations were originally Matrilineal in social structure, religion and politics. It is from these belief systems among aboriginal peoples that the growth and expansion of the early religion of the DIVINE MOTHER came.
They created and invented ALL the essential products of Civilization and Industry, including Science, Textiles, Art, The Calendar, Language, Religion, Agriculture, The Monetary System and Democracy.
These Maternal-Centered Societies are truly the Mothers and Fathers of Human Civilization. Among the Ancient peoples of Afrika, many images of the DIVINE MOTHER Religion have been discovered.
The FIRST human images discovered are MATERNAL NUDE FIGURES, which date back to the Cro-Magnons of the Upper Paleolithic period between 35,000 and 10,000 BC.
The VENUS of LAUSSEL found in the South of France is carved in bas-relief in a rock shelter. This site appears to have been a Hunting Shrine which dates back to 19,000 BC. In this carving the WOMAN is painted red and She holds a Bison Horn in Her Hand.
Other FEMALE STATUES were discovered dating back to the Neolithic period (ca.9000-7000 BC), the Middle Neolithic period (ca. 6000-5000 BC) and the Higher Neolithic period (ca. 4500-3500 BC). In Afrika, cave images of the Horned Goddess (later Auset, ca 7000-6000 BC) were discovered. Here the BLAK MOTHER represents Self-Birthing and Fertility.
During the Pre-Dynastic Khemetic period, prior to 3110 BC, the Goddess was known as Ta-Urt (Great One) and was portrayed as a Pregnant Hippopotamus on Her Hind Legs.
The Halaf culture around the Tigris River, ca. 5000-4000, had Maternal Images associated with The Cow, Serpent, Humped Ox, Sheep, Bull, Dove and Double Axe. This reflects the peoples images of MOTHER as the symbol of COMMUNITY, COOPERATION and AGRICULTURAL LIFE. These are also very important Totemic Animals for the Nile Valley Civilization and many other Afrikan Aboriginal Belief Systems.
In the Sumerian Civilization, ca. 4000 BC, the Queens or Princesses of Cities were associated with the DIVINE MOTHER (Mother/Shakti) and a King or Prince was associated with the God (Father/Shakta) principal.
Despite the MATRILINEAL Aspect of these Cultures, MEN and BOYS were treated with a high level of respect and honor. Men and Women were EQUALS both excelling and prospering in their DIVINE PURPOSE and DESIGN.
NO ONE was SYSTEMATICALLY OPPRESSED, DISRESPECTED and MIS-TREATED. It is believed that the era of expanding major Patriarchal Religions signified the end of the Matrifocal Belief Systems among Afrikans and other natives throughout the world.
This set off a series of events where many communities worldwide began to make the sometimes violent transition from Agricultural Spirit-Centered Community to one of SLAVERY, FORCED NOMADISM and COMMERCIALISM. This took place at the changing of the Solar Ages.
The introduction of the Major Religions was one of the many signs denoting the New Age. With them many aboriginal beliefs would encounter for the first time Patriarchal Belief Systems and Caste Systems based SOLELY on COLOR.
Anthropologist call this the spreading of Pastoral Nomadism. What it means is that a group of HIGHLY MALE-CENTERED, NOMADIC PEOPLES began to INVADE, OVERTHROW and TAKE-OVER many Ancient Communities and Civilizations. EVERYWHERE is the struggle between the new "Settler" population and the Aboriginal Communities.
This gauntlet continues to this day with many very Spiritual Communities FIGHTING and STRUGGLING to hold on to Traditions and Beliefs which SUPPORT Female and Male COOPERATION and also to PROTECT their Culture and Land from being STOLEN and CORRUPTED by outsiders.
The name of these "new settlers" vary but they all leave one LONG-STANDING, DESTRUCTIVE result on their victims and that is Cultural and Ancestral FRAGMENTATION. In some cases, native peoples have encountered COMPLETE Genocide. This is what happened to many "Indian" nations in South America and the Tasmanians of Australia.
Thus, the incredible misconceptions of these Ancient Places exist for they represent something different from modern societies and the documentation is usually done by someone who DOES NOT represent the Ancestral WILL of the people or the land.
Even today there continues to be, among Aboriginal peoples an UNNATURAL over-dependency on these cultures and their worldview. This is why their Culture, Language and Traditions are dying trying to withstand the brutal wilderness of OUR-story.
The belief systems of the DIVINE MOTHER is NOT a Religion that is Pro-Night, Satanic, Violent, Carnal or believes in human sacrifice and uninhibited sexual expression. This is the MYTH (DESIGN) of many cultures today, who ironically have these same problems.
The Religion and History of the DIVINE MOTHER is actually based on STRINGENT LAWS, CUSTOMS and TRADITIONS that PREVENT Human Communities from falling into CHAOS and DESTRUCTION (CONSUMPTION).
These Laws and Traditions vary from place to place, people to people. However, The ORIGINAL DIVINE LAWS of HUMANITY begin with The DIVINE MOTHER.
Within the Khemetic context, MAAT (Aboriginal Mother of Cush and Kemet) brings Light, Healing, Comfort, Transformation, Liberation, Enlightenment, Justice and Release.
She is always the Friend of FREEDOM, The SUN and JUSTICE. ALWAYS.
