In 1940 four schoolchildren accidentally stumbled upon the hidden entrance of a cave system and became the first recent humans in 17,000 years to set eyes upon the cave paintings that were depicting prehistoric beautiful paintings of animals. These caves located southwestern part of France hold one of the oldest women's shamanic cave art called “Lascaux” with walls and ceilings decorated with approximately 1,500 engravings and 600 paintings of horses, stag, deer, goats and bison. On one wall of this gallery the early art consists of a series of markings along the apparent path of a horse, Thirteen circles, like moons, representing the Lunar Moontime calendar of womens bleeding cycle with the 13 moons of the natural earth year.

Another wall has a roaring red deer (Cervus elapus) that walks on a row of the lunar women's path of 13 moons followed by a rectangle. Markings totaling the number 13 are seen with other animals at Lascaux and its amazing that archeologist's are just not familiar or schooled about women's studies of the lunar goddess, the thirteen moon cycles and the shamanic nature of her relationship to animals. Its as if women must rewrite all current study into a more correct origin from her remembrance. Another set of 13 moons flanks an engraved 6-½ foot high red deer, called “The Major Stag” with Stag being one of the main animals totems of the female shamans ancestor line and the rituals that went on in caves that the elder grandmothers would call their ancient ancestoral grandmother spirits. As a shamans I know such wisdom for a fact from experience.

Most texts suggest the works were a mixture of magic, ceremonial art, rituals and trances. A common practice among shamans currently educated scientists and archeologist's that Ice-age woman painted the animals so as to harness the spirit of her personal totem as a shaman to communicate with the animals which were her direct ancestors in spirit form, when we were a part of earth, rather than separated as we are today. It was also information that the woman could give to man for his hunt, receiving information from both spirit of the animal and the goddess in which they would have had to do ceremony to thank earth Goddess for her abundance. The horses painting in the paintings were also shown pregnant, which male archeologist's would never see with the rational eye as well, thus showing the caves were also for fertility rites for maidens entering puberty and mothers preparing for childbirth with women midwives (ancient doctor).

Living by the Moon post Constantine changing the feminine calender in the 12th century, provided evidence that these large mammals are timed by the rhythms of light and darkness of the balance between the movements of the sun and moon, and show us how woman was in timing and attuned to the natural rhythms of her body that would emotionally be equivalent to the emotional harmony of the clan. Today, almost 800 years using a solar calendar for the first time on earth has left the earths people not only separated from nature and imbalanced in its relationship to fertility of food and its growth, but also the most important aspect of humans living together, which is emotionally in harmony which is at a crisis on earth.
