INTRODUCTION
For a few years now there has been a newly awoken interest for the so called myth of
the Mother Goddess. This interest, which is now starting to reach the general public, is

The series will comprise of three hour long episodes. The documentaries are not trying
to be a revindication of feminism but rather an exhibition of the recuperation of the
route of spirituality, of the feminine energy that effects men, and to women as a sign
of growth and evolution of society. With an agile and enlightening exhibition – not
exempt from analysis- we will bring the viewer closer through the means of knowledge
and transformation in which means they have been researched lately. To do this we can

activities that serve to illustrate this journey of the woman from the origins of the human
race thousands of years ago to the return to nature that we currently see in society.
There will be some reconstructions used to illustrate the described rituals and there will
be narration of some parts by well-known international actresses.

EPISODE 1
LILITH, THE FIRST WOMAN
Mine is the sky, mine is the earth,
I’m a warrior, that’s what I am.
Is there any god who can compare to me?
The gods are sparrows, I am a hawk.
The gods are tumbling.
I am a sovereign wild cow.

We will get closer to the goddesses as archetypes and spiritual energy that connected
men and women to heaven and earth.
Feminine representations in prehistory overtook the masculine ones and this is what
has lead numerous researchers to talk about matriarchal societies, where the rituals of
fertility and the dependency between life and death marked the rhythm of existence.

In the period rituals that highlight the natural rhythm, where life and death alternate,
is where women have been secularly protagonists in the form of shamans, healers or
sorcerers. In the second episode we’ll analyze the relevant role of these women, treated unfairly by the church, doctors and other patriarchal sectors that didn’t want to or

patriarchal sectors, but rather to show how the wisdom of the women, their knowledge
of nature of life cycles, of the plants through the herbalists etc. played a decisive role in
the development of society. Healing women, mystics, and women that speak and write
from their interior space.

the goddess in a society that lacked defensive elements. There is no evidence either
engraved or painted of any element with references to war, battles and /or various
confrontations, which is considered by various current feminist trends, amongst which
are the ecofeminists, as an example of the fact that matriarchal civilizations existed
which were not aware of the use of violence.

titled The four witches, we will talk about this book used by the witch hunters to put to
test their victims. Marija Gimbutas and the anthropologist Margaret Murria have their
own theories as to the reasons for these organized persecutions and assassinations.
They and other studies will explain how in reality it was about women maintaining pagan cults that had to do with lunar cycles and the harvests and that still are around in
agricultural societies, as with the knowledge of herbalists and the help at births.
