Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book explores the origins of social institutions like ownership and marriage. It delves into archaeological evidence and analyzes folklore and beliefs to unearth the traces of a forgotten matriarchal era preceding the patriarchal society. The author argues that many of the rituals and customs associated with witchcraft, such as dancing, feasts, and the use of brooms, are remnants of an ancient goddess-worshipping civilization where women held prominent roles. These practices, once considered mere superstition, are reinterpreted as echoes of a time when women were the primary agriculturalists and held positions of leadership in their communities. By uncovering the roots of witchcraft in this bygone era, the book sheds new light on the evolution of gender roles and the dynamic interplay of power and belief throughout human history.
