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 doesnât 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. Maxâs 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. Sheâll publish another book later this year.
Max is a pioneer in her area and has uncovered many unique insights into womenâs history through her decades of work. We enjoyed her candor and passion and are certain youâll come away with something new.

Futurist Riane Eisler joins as our guest in this episode. In our conversation, we get into her primary body of work - partnership and dominator societies, and the flawed economic metrics we have been using like GDP, that fail to take our caring economy into account. We also touch on how our lack of knowledge of our lost feminine history is hurting us and how dichotomous thinking in todayâs society is holding us back. Listen for these topics and much more.
Riane is internationally known for her groundbreaking contributions as a systems scientist, futurist, and cultural historian. She is author of many books, including popular The Chalice and the Blade, now in its 57th US printing and 27 foreign editions. She also authored The Real Wealth of Nations, hailed by Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu as âa template for the better world we have been so urgently seekingâ. She is the recipient of the Distinguished Peace Leadership Award and is currently President of the Center for Partnership Systems. We are thrilled to have her join us on the podcast.
