An archetype can best be understood as patterns of behavior that have existed in every woman since the beginning of our time on earth. The drive to love, to be independent, to have power, determines our choices
and makes us who we are The memory of every woman that has ever lived, in any or all of these patterns, are remembered within us. WHY THE GREEKS ?
Matriarchal prehistory presents us with hard evidence that women were once, long ago,
at the center of worship. As women embodied the divine and were revered, they were also a threat. Enter the Gods of the Greek era and you will discover the beginning of a divinely feminine fracture.
The Goddess, in her perfect wholeness,
symbolic of creation itself, began to lose her power. The Greeks through art, poetry, and storytelling, began by dividing the Goddess into "parts" of the whole, assigning her components as identities that served man's need to dominate. In these
identities we can discover and reclaim the lost parts of ourselves.
