Based on the often well-preserved archaeological finds and on her own documented field research, the author analyzes temple architecture and art from the Mediterranean to the extreme north-west of Europe in the context of a theacratic society that worshiped a goddess as the main divinity. She offers an important contribution to the understanding of the cults with which she was venerated and of the imagery of the life, death and regeneration of the peoples who built her temples. The floor plans themselves, in Malta as in Orkney and Shetland, are the body of the Goddess and, sheltered from her for some millennia, the symbolism of the sculptures, engravings and pottery endured after Malta's sunset. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings by the author.
