Long before the cross became a dominant symbol in the Western world, the ancient lands were filled with a deep reverence for the divine feminine. From the intricate palaces of Minoan Crete to the foggy hills of Celtic Gaul, matriarchal societies centered their lives around goddesses representing fertility, wisdom, and the earth itself.
Childbirth was seen not just as a biological process but as a sacred ritual, embodying a woman’s connection to the universe's creative power. The earth was regarded as a nurturing mother—fertile and vital, with rivers and fields symbolizing abundance. Trees like the majestic oak or the hardy yew served as links to eternity, their roots connecting the mortal realm with the divine.
The emerging Christian Church entered this landscape of harmony, driven by ambition masked as piety. Its theology was a sharp tool that cut away previous beliefs and reshaped core truths. Drawing from Helen Ellerbe’s The Dark Side of Christianity, we reveal a purposeful campaign — not of salvation, but of dominance — that dismantled the matriarchal divine and established a patriarchal reign on its remains.
