EP : 04 | Shamanism, Goddess Iconography and Female Power with Max Dashu

Scholar and author Max Dashu joins as our guest in this episode. In our conversation, we cover many areas including; how ancient women-centered societies worked, shamanism and how women's involvement and contributions to shamanism has been masculinized throughout history, and why she doesn’t like using the word feminine. Listen for these topics and much more.

Max is internationally known for her expertise in ancient Goddess iconography; matrilineal cultures, female spheres of power; and female shamanism. Max’s first book is called Witches and Pagans: Women in European Folk Culture. She has also contributed to many books including a chapter on shamanism in Psychedelic Mysteries of the Feminine. She’ll publish another book later this year.

Max is a pioneer in her area and has uncovered many unique insights into women’s history through her decades of work. We enjoyed her candor and passion and are certain you’ll come away with something new.
