History isn’t just what happened it’s what the people in charge decided to keep in the book.

What if humanity's first creator wasn't a Father God?

Some of the oldest creation traditions imagined life emerging from a divine feminine force connected to birth, fertility, and creation itself.

Humanity's first deity was male.
At least that's what most people assume.

The Ancient Moon Goddess explores why some of humanity's earliest beliefs may have pointed in a very different direction.

What if women were revered in ancient societies not because they were "nurturing"—but because they were believed to possess the power to create life?

Ancient sacrifice rituals may have carried meanings far beyond appeasing the gods.

Many early cultures saw ritual as part of a larger cycle of life, renewal, and survival.

What ancient people feared most wasn't always what you think.

Storms. Eclipses. Birth. Death. The Moon.

Many believed these forces revealed deeper truths about existence itself.

Ancient cultures often viewed it as sacred — tied to wisdom, healing, renewal, and transformation.

The deeper I go into ancient history, the more questions I end up having. #HiddenHistory #Religion

[Dale O'Neal, PhD l Religion @DaleOnealAuthor]

What if patriarchy didn’t just appear, but grew from a Stone Age misunderstanding about conception?

The Ancient Moon Goddess argues just that and invites debate. If that idea unsettles you, let’s talk about why.
