The Maltese Prehistoric era dates back to 5000-2500 BC. The first inhabitants had a cyclical world view, in which everything was in a continuous state of transformation.
They observed the seasons and the solar and lunar phases and possessed a deep reverence for the ongoing process of birth, death and rebirth, expressed so beautifully in a variety of spiral motifs on their stone carvings. Their pottery incisions and decorations are loaded with symbolism and speak of their religion and world view.
The female symbolism that was expressed throughout the Neolithic age shows that the goddess was the origin and centre of everything. Temple period Malta had a culture supremely directed to the earth in all its manifestations. Theirs was a way of life that relied on the powers of the earth, the goddess.

‘ORACLE” is the title of these six archaeological finds representing ancient deities. Their universal message of truth comes through body language, the suggestive postures having a powerful significance. The spiral is no co-incidental motif but a symbol of energy. The double spiral symbolizes energy from the heavens and energy from earth. When these are in balance (and this is the primary principle of prayer and meditation), then the phenomenon of awareness occurs. This leads to acknowledging and experiencing the union of Heaven and Earth or God and man/woman.Peace, Listen to your Inner Voice
