THE FORGOTTEN FEMININE FACE OF GOD with Anne Baring

For thousands of years the feminine aspect of the divine has been buried, forgotten or completely written out of history. Yet beneath the surface of our collective consciousness, we are beginning to recover the wisdom and power of a long forgotten lineage.

In this episode I speak with 95 year old  Anne Baring - Jungian analyst, historian and author/co‑author of 9 books, whose life’s work has been devoted to restoring the forgotten aspects of the feminine and reconnecting humanity to a spiritual lineage that once honoured nature, the cosmos and the sacred feminine.

In this conversation, we explore the disappearance of the Goddess from ancient cultures, the severing of nature from spirit, and the impact this loss has had on humanity. Anne speaks to the historical shift from the Great Mother to the Great Father, the removal and distortion of Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene from religious memory and the consequences of a world that has forgotten how to honour the feminine.

We explore the dreams and visions that catalysed Anne onto her path of seeking truth which shaped her mission, guiding her toward a lifetime of devotion to the feminine principle. She shares how Jungian analysis revealed the alienation of the feminine essence and why reclaiming the feminine archetype is essential for restoring balance, empathy and connection in our time.

This is a conversation about remembering what was lost, reclaiming what was suppressed and restoring the feminine principle as a guiding force for humanity’s future.
