The Shrinking Goddess - Power Myth and the Female Body

Mineke Schipper

Sinopsis

Wild and strange stories have been told about the female body since antiquity. While tales of poisoned hymens and witches with multiple breasts circulated, the first creation figure, Mother Earth, fell out of popular culture. Ranging from the empowering to the absurd, ancient myths about women's bodies have not only survived into the twenty-first century but continue to influence modern discourse.The Shrinking Goddess brings together myths about the female form and traces subsequent male efforts to 'tame' it. Mineke Schipper explores how women's bodies have been represented around the world, from the demon daughter of New Mexico with a toothed vagina, to the Japanese supermarkets and European festivals where 'breast puddings' are considered delicaciesDrawing from the vast reservoir of writing and art that shape how women are seen in today's world, The Shrinking Goddess reclaims the female body as a source of power.

Illuminati Origins

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
This audiobook delves into the enigmatic world of the Illuminati and secret societies, unveiling their history and influence over global affairs. The Illuminati, real and fictional, are portrayed as elusive elites shaping our world. Their origin dates back to the late 1700s with the Bavarian Illuminati, founded by Adam Weishaupt and guided by the enigmatic 'Father of Illumination'. Since then, numerous groups have claimed Illuminati status, their links to Weishaupt's vision uncertain. These legends have fostered a culture of secrecy and fear, intertwining conspiracies of unimaginable power with Illuminati symbolism. Celebrities, musicians, and politicians have been implicated in this narrative, but does the Illuminati truly wield world control? 
 
This audiobook investigates the historical ties between the Illuminati and secret societies and their impact on global events. We delve into Weishaupt's legacy and explore potentially nefarious activities within these organisations. The audiobook scrutinizes whether these groups possess the power to dominate the world and, if so, contemplates potential countermeasures. 
 
Join us on this illuminating journey as we plunge into the shadowy realm of the Illuminati and secret societies that exert influence over our world.
