“It cannot be an accident that the first act of so many women in the Goddess movement was to reclaim and resacralize the menstrual cycle. In fact, menstruation may be a root cause for the so-called “leap” into the human species—one of the breakaway events that allowed human evolution to take place, distinguishing us from all other primates.
I hope to show that it was this lunar menstrual cycle that gave rise to the first collective human rituals and community celebrations, as well as whole systems of ancient mathematics and scientific understandings that led to the building of stone circles, medicine wheels, and eventually the temples and churches of the modern era.”
