Writer’s Soul: Merlin Stone

In This Class:

“At the very dawn of religion, god was a woman. Do you remember?”

Merlin Stone was the author of When God Was A Woman, first published as The Paradise Papers, and of Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood. She studied art and journalism, eventually becoming interested in archeology through her study of ancient art. Her work had a serious impact on the Goddess Movement of the 1970s and 1980s and has given us doorways of possibilities to rethink the primarily male lens through which we are taught history.

Together we’re exploring the unique voice of the woman who gave us permission to reclaim god as a force within, as a creatress, as an androgynous womb through which all life is birthed and ferried away into death and rebirth.
