Ariadne — Ruled by priestess-queens for two millennia, it was in Crete, for the last time in recorded history [that] a spirit of harmony between men and women as joyful, equal participants in life [pervades], says Eisler. Minoan culture was a Goddess-worshipping inheritance from Egypt, later passed on to Mycenaean Greece and Philistine Canaan. Ariadne, the High Fruitful Mother, is a lunar fertility Goddess whose athletic prowess evolved into huntress Diana and many-breasted Ephesian Artemis. Serpents, symbolic of rebirth, were ritually handled by her oracle-giving priestesses, whose bare-breasted costume suggest the sacred role of sexuality in the culture. Trances and ecstatic dance celebrated the annual rebirth of Ariadne’s son-lover Dionysos (Deo Knossos). The sudden end of Crete’s peaceful matrilineal Golden age through flood and earthquake gave rise to the Atlantis legend. Shown [right] is the 8 inch handpainted version. [Below] Here’s what the statue looks like in plain finish. —picture and text © 1996 JBL Statues (now called Sacred Source), original text created by Tom Laudeman
