Myth, history, and spiritual inquiry come together in this conversation with Anne Baring, scholar, author, and one of the leading voices on the Divine Feminine.
Anne’s work spans decades of independent research into mythology, religion, art history, depth psychology, and cosmology. She is the co-author of The Myth of the Goddess, author of The Dream of the Cosmos, and most recently Divine Wisdom and the Holy Spirit: The Forgotten Feminine Face of God, a culminating work that re-envisions Christianity through the restoration of Sophia, Mary Magdalene, and feminine divine wisdom.
In this episode, we explore the historical exile of the feminine from the Godhead, the cultural and spiritual consequences of this loss, and why myth remains essential for understanding our relationship with the sacred, the earth, and one another.
This is a rich, thoughtful conversation offering historical insight and mythic depth for listeners seeking a deeper spiritual language.
