History is written by the victors… but what happens when it erases the divine feminine? In this episode of The Goddess Project, we expose how misogyny in museum curation has shaped the interpretation of the Assyrian nude statue (BM 124963), housed at the @britishmuseum Originally commissioned by King Ashur-bel-kala (1073–1056 BCE), this unique artifact has been labeled as an object of mockery, but is that really the full story? Could this statue represent Ishtar the powerful Mesopotamian goddess of love, war, and divine femininity rather than a figure of humiliation? Join us as we challenge the patriarchal lens that has distorted history and reclaim the true legacy of ancient goddesses. Topics Covered in This Episode: - The Assyrian nude statue & its controversial museum interpretation - Zainab Bahrani’s feminist analysis of female representation in Mesopotamian art - Eroticism, power, and divinity in Mesopotamian culture - Colleen Heslin’s powerful open letter challenging the British Museum’s framing of the statue, read it here: https://colleenheslin.com/project_pages/2016_LastWoman.html - How Western academia has erased the strength of ancient goddesses Sacred Steps: Exploring Artemis’ Lost Temples – A Fundraiser for The Artemis Mapping Project Join me, on a three-part online lecture series as we journey through Artemis’ lost sanctuaries, uncovering their mythology, rituals, and historical significance through exclusive on-site footage, archaeological research, and ancient texts.

In this episode we delve into the fascinating world of Cretan goddesses, focusing on Diktynna, Britomartis, and Artemis. These deities offer a rich tapestry of mythology and history that spans from the ancient Minoan civilization to classical Greek times. Diktynna, often associated with Britomartis, was a revered goddess of mountains and hunting in Crete, worshipped since the Minoan era (circa 2000-1450 BCE). Known for her escape from King Minos by leaping into the sea, Britomartis was transformed into a goddess by Artemis, symbolizing freedom and protection.As we explore the connections between these goddesses, we see how Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, absorbed many attributes of her Cretan counterparts. The Temple of Aphaia on Aegina, dating back to the 5th century BCE, stands as a significant archaeological site that highlights these links. This temple showcases the syncretism between local deities and the Olympian pantheon, with Aphaia embodying aspects of both Artemis and Britomartis/Diktynna. Join us as we uncover the fluid and intertwined identities of these powerful goddesses and their enduring legacy in ancient Greek religion. #CretanGoddesses #Mythology #AncientHistory #Archaeology #MinoanCivilization #GreekMythology #Diktynna #Britomartis #Artemis #TempleOfAphaia▶️SUPPORT THE GODDESS PROJECT PODCAST!PATREON ▶️ / goddessproject📖 GET MY BOOK! ▶️ https://www.amazon.com/She-Who-Hunts-...▶️ABOUT THE BOOK: She Who Hunts by Dr. Carla Ionescu SHE WHO HUNTS explores the ancient Greek Goddess Artemis through myths, history, legends, and folklore, with vivid and detailed archeological and historical evidence showing that rather than just a simple "maiden" Goddess or "virgin in the woods", ARTEMIS was one of the most prevalent and influential goddesses of the Mediterranean, playing a fundamental role in the communal, political and ritual development of the Greco-Roman world.

Much remains unsaid about the power of those who bring light to the darkness. In this episode we dive into the worship and rituals of Goddesses who carry torches. We will discuss Hestia Goddess of the Hearth, as well as Vesta, Goddess of the flame. We will then look at a rare Triad of Goddesses: Hecate, Artemis and Selene, the Holy Trinity of Goddesses who are all depicted carying a torch. Finally we will take a look at the impressive worship of Bridgit, the Flame carrier, Goddess of light and fire. Join me, and let's travel back to a time before electricity and florescent lights, a time when fire lit the world, and Goddesses were the gatekeepers of sacred knowledge and salvation.▶️ TAKE A GODDESS COURSE WITH ME! ▶️ https://artemisexpert.disco.coGET MY BOOK! ▶️ https://www.amazon.com/She-Who-Hunts-... ▶️ABOUT THE BOOK: She Who Hunts by Dr. Carla Ionescu SHE WHO HUNTS explores the ancient Greek Goddess Artemis through myths, history, legends, and folklore, with vivid and detailed archeological and historical evidence showing that rather than just a simple "maiden" Goddess or "virgin in the woods", ARTEMIS was one of the most prevalent and influential goddesses of the Mediterranean, playing a fundamental role in the communal, political and ritual development of the Greco-Roman world.
