ONLINE • Pacific Time Zone

Max Dashu unfolds a visual feast of creator goddesses and spinners of fate around the world: Neith, Egyptian "Mother of the Gods”; the Seventh Nummo of the Dogon. Xi Wangmu, celestial pivot of the Big Dipper, in China. The Moirae, Norns, Laimé, the Weird Sisters — and faery godmothers. Grandmother Spider in the Mississippian, Pueblo and Navajo cultures. The weaver creatrix among the Maya and Aztec; Takutsi Nakawé of the Huichol, and Haudenosaunee stories of the Old Weaver in the Moon.

Max Dashu founded the Suppressed Histories Archives in 1970 to research women in the global cultural record. She teaches with images in her legendary visual presentations, to international acclaim. She is the author of Witches and Pagans: Women in European Folk Religion and several videos, including Woman Shaman: the Ancients. See her work and learn more.
