Refresher Course for New Mexicans - Recipients of the Regenerative Goddess aka NM Spaceport

Long before Wikipedia there were books. Long before there were books there were humans. According to Marija Gimbutas' The Civilization of the Goddess:

There were four main groups of the Goddess (1) representing the generative forces of nature, (2) a Goddess representing the destructive forces of nature, (3) the Goddess of regeneration and (4) a category of "prehistoric male deities who make up only three to five percent" of the Neolithic sculpture. (Sorry, men, it just wasn't your time.) Chapter 7, page 223.

It was not always necessary for the Goddess's entire figure to be carved, for it was typical in prehistoric periods to depict only those body parts that emitted her generative powers: vulva, pubic triangle, buttocks, and breasts. It was sufficient to carve her vulva into rock, to find a stone shaped like a triangle, or to make a bone amulet shaped like breasts or buttocks. Such symbols represented the potency of her generative powers.

Attempts to explain the representation of vulvas, breasts, and buttocks have resulted in fantastic hypotheses. For the most part, these images have been viewed through the lens of 20th century bias. One explanation of the "beginning of art" is that manual love play - the touching of vulvas, buttocks, and breasts - stimulated art creations some 30,000 years ago. To conclude that these Paleolithic symbols were objects created for the erotic stimulation of males completely ignores their religious and social context.

...The symbol of the vulva does not end with the Aurignacian period, but can be traced from the Upper Paleolithic, through the whole of the Neolithic, Copper, and Bronze ages, up to historical times. It is pictured as a supernatural triangle, lozenge, or oval, often together with aquatic signs - meanders, zigzags, wavy parallel lines - or as seeds depicted as a dot in the center of the enclosure. ...

In all prehistoric art, the vulva is never to be seen as a passive object but as a symbol of the source of life itself. It is the cosmic womb, analogous to the blossoming of a bud, from which all birth and new vitality unfolds. Figurines representing the generative forces of the Goddess are always depicted with large vulvas or public triangles....
