The Odyssey Project

Gods/Goddesses are metaphors or facts cannot reasonably be argued however they continue to get under the skin and ask of us many questions.  Such as divine feminine power, which under many names in the very ancient stone age worlds, were the personification of the “eternal feminine”.  An idea still very much alive yet often viewed with myth, occultism and legend making.  Homer wrote of these ancient goddesses. Circe and hidden Calypso are thought to be stone age goddesses as well as the Sirens and their powerful unknown songs. The Greek myths are epics, they were a shared sense of identity across a scattered people from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea.  A people that stretched from Greece to Georgia, Spain to Syria, Afghanistan to Sudan.  Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey continue to speak to us, returning to our little DNA lives inside our ancestors. Reaching back is astounding, admitting how little we have changed,  how far we have travelled.
