Ooh these all look great-- I've had The Brittanias on my list because I admired Albinia's Cwen. Excited to add these others too.

Happy birthday to the great late archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, born on January 23rd 1921 in Vilnius, Lithuania. Marija, you give me courage on my path every day. Great clan mother of archaeomythology, you who brought matrilineal & matrifocal Old Europe back to us, bless your life & your legacy.

Hello mysterious blue sky! A little introduction here in this new space seems in order. I'm Sylvia V. Linsteadt, author of many booksβ€”both fiction and nonfictionβ€”mainly having to do w/ folklore, myth, ecology, or matrilineal archaeologies of Europe. Here's a glimpse...Looking forward to connecting!
