	P.G. Davis' Goddess Unmasked - Reviewed by Robert Sheaffer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Davis observes that "we do not possess a single translated text" from any of these supposed major Goddess cultures, leaving anyone who is so inclined free to attribute to those vanished societies whatever social arrangements they are most eager to promote in our own.
		The Goddess writers, notes Davis, present their evidence highly selectively.) Indeed, the Goddess misrepresents the entire history of civilization, portraying it as a struggle between early utopian, female-dominated societies, and later violent, hierarchical and patriarchal ones; professional historians dispute that there ever was a "matriarchal" or "woman-centered" stage of civilization.
		Davis has shown conclusively that the Goddess traditions are passed down not from ancient pagan teachers, but from latter-day ones with names like Eliphas Lévi, Aleister Crowley, Margaret Murray, and Gerald B. Gardner.
