“The purpose of this work is to present the pictorial “writing” of the religion linked to the Great Goddess of old Europe, a writing composed of signs, symbols and images of the divinities. These are our fundamental sources for reconstructing this prehistoric scene; they are essential to a true understanding of Western religion and mythology. […] The astonishing repetition of symbolic associations over time and throughout Europe on pottery, figurines and other cult objects has convinced me that we are here before something more than simple “geometric patterns”: these signs belong to a metaphysical alphabet.
