The Master (Mistress) of Speech

Shannon Dorey is a Canadian author and historian best known for her research on the African Dogon people. She has written four books and numerous articles analyzing the symbols found in the Dogon religion, which are based on alien beings, genetics and astrophysics. Using the work of ethnographers Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen, who recorded the religion beginning in the 1930s, Dorey presents a picture of an ancient religion that was once known around the world.

Dorey has spent the last 24 years of her life researching and writing about the African Dogon religion because she believes it's as close to the world's first religion that we are ever likely to get.

She is a graduate of Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada with a combined English and History degree. Her interests were expanded to religious studies after studying the New Testament at the University of Windsor in 1991.
