A Quest for Community
A personal journal of my first journeys to Damanhur & Auroville.

But in the last 10,000 years or
so all this changed. Male sky-god oriented warrior cultures began to
surge down from the Mongolian steppes and the Scandinavian high country
into the European centers of the Earth-oriented goddess cultures. Over
a period of a thousand or more years they slowly vanquished the more
peaceful goddess cultures, replacing their partnership societies with
more male-dominant aggressively hierarchical cultures. They destroyed
the temples and sacred places of the Goddess and built their own
temples on top of the ruins. And they placed women under a macho male
subjugation that has continued to this day.
