Episode Details

Sophia is honored as I am joined by Edward Dodge to discuss A History of the Goddess. We’ll explore the ancient roots of the Feminine Divine and her systematic removal from religious history. Edward investigates how thousands of years of Goddess worship were eventually suppressed by the rise of monotheism and the metaphorical “divorce” of God from Mother Earth. We follow his detailed research into the hidden role of cannabis, which he argues was once a sacred plant integral to the temple rituals of the ancient Near East. He provides a provocative reinterpretation of familiar Biblical stories, suggesting that figures such as King Solomon and later Gnostics maintained secret connections to this repressed feminine wisdom. We’ll examine how reclaiming this lost heritage might offer a path toward healing our relationship with nature in the modern era.
