Oow, super Els,...
>>> bron = http://altreligion.about.com/library/gl ... labrys.htmThe labrys is a double headed ritual axe. It is found in ancient Minoan depictions of the Mother Goddess, where its symbolism is related to the labrynth. The word "labrys" is Minoan in origin and is from the same root as the Latin labus, or lips.
>>> bron = http://merganser.math.gvsu.edu/myth/imbolg.html"Janus" figures like the one on Boa Island are particularly interesting when viewed from a larger perspective. From the dreamtime of the Upper Paleolithic some 25,000 years ago come double-headed figures carved on stone slabs -- female figures, each side slightly different from the other. The primary deity of the Paleolithic was the Great Goddess, the Giver of Life who cyclically turned her attention from summer to winter, light to dark, past to future.
>>> bron = http://www.renaissance-traditionnelle.o ... -eagle.htmThe double-headed eagle originated in Mesopotamia.
A double-headed female figure (a Mother-Goddess?) was discovered at Ctal Hüyük, one of the world’s oldest cities. It was dated to the sixth millennium B.C. The first representations of the double-headed eagle are also extremely old. They have been discovered in archeological sites of the Hitties, who lived throughout Asia Minor from the twentieth to the thirteenth centuries B.C.
I have been working on an book called The Double Goddess beginning with double-headed life-size female statues from an 8th-millenium BCE site in Palestine where the earliest agriculture was practiced, and then Double Goddess images from Catalhoyuk where farming was spread in the 7th millenium BCE. Double Goddesses have also been found in Greece and the Balkans from the Neolithic period (6th-5th millenium) and again in the Bronze Age in Anatolia and northern Syria. Turkish archeologists report that Amazon queens founded major cities named after them in Turkey during the Bronze Age (2000 BCE), and later historians such as Herodotus (450 BCE) describe the Amazons as ruling in "dual queenship" with a military queen and a domestic one. It's my theory that "dual queenship" and the Double Goddess represent women's egalitarian way of governing and represent female sovereignty.
