Ragana

A novel of Old Europe and how it got us to where we are now, Old Europe being about the time of the peaceful Goddess-oriented tribes of the Neolithic, about 4300 BCE and how they were overcome by the Indo-European tribes of the Caucusus, called the Kurgans by Marija Gimbutas. The novel draws a link between the collapse of the Golden Age and the present crisis, now, when we are encountering the collapse of nature and all that holds the divine sacred of nature 6,000 years ago. This novel confronts the fact that European peoples were once "wild Indians" themselves and lived in a tribal culture before marriage and monogamy that dominates our world today -- and looks upon such tribal integrations as key to the happiness, balance and stability humanity once knew. It suggests, of course, that, as we face the crisis of our decline and the fact that technology won't save us, that we can and must return to the love we know in our genes, that we evolved with.
