| TEMPLE OF ISIS/LOS ANGELES |
You are invited to a lecture and discussion by
Marguerite Rigolioso, Ph.D.
author of The Cult of the Divine Birth in Ancient Greece
Friday evening, July 17 2009, 7-9PM in Long Beach (CA)
Co-sponsored by the Iseum of the Nubian Moon and
Women's Heritage Project.
Dr. Rigoglioso will explore the “rape by gods” and supernatural
conception stories from Greek history and myth in a startling
new way that places virgin priestesses at the core of Western
civilization. Her research makes the case that divine birth was
something deliberately attempted by holy women – an elevated
form of spiritual practice considered the only means of
bringing avatars and true leaders to incarnation.
This serious scholarly study has tremendous implications for
world religions with divine birth claims, including Christianity.
It also helps reframe and reclaim the Virgin Mary as a
deliberate agent in the conception of Jesus.
Marguerite Rigoglioso, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in humanities
and a master's in philosophy and religion from the California
Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), as well as a bachelor's
degree from Vassar College . She teaches pioneering courses in
women and religion at CIIS, Dominican University , and the
Institute of Transpersonal Psychology .
Love Offering Requested.
Refreshments and Goddess Wine Provided!!
