At the heart of many forbidden mystical orders, such as the Essenes, Gnostics, and Cathars, is the belief of the divine feminine as a force which can guide the soul to ascension. These lost teachings were embedded in ancient temples and sacred tools, which were destroyed as these traditions were declared forbidden. William Henry recovers this lost wisdom by accounting for the items that have been purged from history, recovering their original use, and rebuilding the ancient spiritual practices that venerate the mother of the gods.
