Lost Goddess
A history blog and podcast inspired by the story of the goddesses in the Bible, the hole left in Western Civilization when they were dethroned, and the vision of an Ecological Civilization with the Goddess restored in the future.
About the Author
Edward Dodge is an independent researcher and writer with a BS and an MBA from Cornell University. He had a successful tech career in IT and renewable energy before stumbling into the story of the Mother Goddess in the Bible.
His first book, A History of the Goddess: from the Ice Age to the Bible, traces the long, continuous thread of goddess worship across millennia, with a focus on the divorce of God and Goddess in the Old Testament, and how the resurrection of Jesus in the New Testament draws from timeless Mother Goddess traditions.
On the Goddess Bible Study podcast, he continues to explore the history, metaphysics, and theology of the Mother Goddess across cultures, with a focus on the Bible and the world today.

Aphrodite
There clad herself in garments beautiful
The laughter loving goddess. Gold-adorned
She hasted on her way down Ida’s Mount,
Ida, the many-rilled, mother of wild beasts
And in her train, the grey wolf and the bear,
the keen eyed lion and the swift footed pard,
that hungers for the hind, all fawning came.
Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite
(8th-6th centuries BC)
