Things are beginning to get juicy if I do say so myself. In Part 4 of my essay series on Medusa Rising I introduce anthropologist Chris Knight’s theory of human cultural origins, as laid out in his book Blood Relations: Menstruation and the Origins of Culture (1991), and discuss the shift in thinking—as well as the female solidarity—that is required to end male dominance and imagine a new and better matriarchal future. This is where the ‘re-worlding’ begins, and new-old stories of heroes and heroines are examined as we find ways to settle back into evolutionary process.
Stay tuned for the final instalment next week, Part 5: Let’s Get Metaphysical!
Here are some featured quotes from Part 4:
