About this ebook
Earth Mother Origins explores the historical and geographical roots of the Earth Mother figure, examining her significance in Neolithic societies and early agricultural communities.
The book argues that this figure is not merely a myth but a symbolic representation of the profound relationship between humans and the land.
It highlights how the transition to agriculture during the Neolithic Revolution shaped belief systems centered on fertility and the earth's bounty.
Intriguingly, archaeological findings such as figurines and burial sites offer tangible evidence of the Earth Mother's prevalence across diverse cultures.
