Kemet before the pharoahs: women in predynastic Egypt

Livecasts on Sunday, 21 July, noon and Thursday 25 July, 6:30 pm
(both PDT, UTC -8)

Some extremely ancient rock art and megaliths; female icons in clay, stone and ivory (some from hippos!), including the vulture-headed figurines; paintings and petroglyphs of Goddess-in-Ship; carved stone palettes, breast pots, and other cultural treasures from the period before 3000 bce. I'm looking forward to sharing this new show, after compiling images collected over 50 years.

Register here by choosing your amount from the sliding scale dropdown. If you can't make either of the livecast times, register and reply to this email (in that order, please) to let me know you need a link to the streamable recording. (It will remain up for a month, possibly longer.)

Coming in late August, Kemetic Deasophy/ Egyptian Goddesses...

Snake Women in Nacadoches, East Texas

Not only did I get to present my Snake Women show in Texas but I was able to to hear teaching from Caddo elders and cultural experts and visit Caddo Mounds, which dates back to 600 CE, where they had a drum dance ceremony. East Texas is lush and beautiful.

Suppressed Histories web site redesign / expansion!

The Suppressed Histories Archives web site redesign is happening! This is a major overhaul which will reorganize the material and make it easier to find things by country or by subject. Nearly 10,000 new pages are being migrated from the SHA page on Facebook. It will take some time to edit and tag them, but i'll begin adding and rolling them out gradually. You'll be able to see the new site within a month or two, when I'll be publishing some of the new pages, and announcing via this newsletter.

If you'd like to support this process of expanding the resources, you can make monthly donations of any size via my Matreon page. Or you can make single donations on the Suppressed Histories site.

Coming soon! stream-on demand videos!

I'll be presenting at Goddess Spirit Rising which will be September 12-15, in Simi Valley CA. Look they have early bird discounts.

As for the future:

Let's make that happen: stop fascism.
