The Sacred Feminine vs. Patriarchal Suppression: A central theme revolves around the historical suppression of goddess worship and the feminine principle by the Christian Church. The Priory of Sion believes this imbalance has led to "koyanisquatsi—'life out of balance'—an unstable situation marked by testosterone-fueled wars, a plethora of misogynistic societies, and a growing disrespect for Mother Earth." The novel suggests a hidden history where the feminine divine was once revered. Symbols like the pentacle, associated with Venus, are presented as representations of female sexuality and power. Even Da Vinci's art, particularly the Mona Lisa, is reinterpreted to highlight androgyny and the balance of male and female.
