The Chalice of the Goddess

The book, 'The Chalice and the Blade,' by Riane Eisler influenced many

people back in the 1980's. Ms. Eisler created the concept of a 'partnership

society' where men and women would work in harmony. Her book outlined

the depredations of invasions by patriarchal tribal groups, who disturbed

an idyllic agrarain matriarchy in Eastern Europe.

The 'Chalice' was taken as a symbol of the womb concept.

This stamp is a tribute to the Eternal Feminine.
