This is one of the most interesting ancient texts I've ever read.

Has anyone else read it?  You should really read the whole thing, it talks about about Christ, Magick, Wars, Floods and all kinds of goodies.

If you email me I can send you a PDF file of it thats a little easier to read. But at least read the into to first (thats not in the PDF):

For those who just want to know what it says about Jesus and don't want to read ~100 pages, HERE YOU GO

5. In the year 1600 (note this is NOT using our modern dating system)
after Atland was
submerged, something happened
which nobody had reckoned upon. In
the heart of Finda's land, upon a
mountain, lies a plain called Kasamyr,
that is, "Extraordinary". There was a
child born whose mother was the
daughter of a king, and whose father
was a high-priest. In order to hide the
shame they were obliged to renounce
their own blood. Therefore it was
taken out of the state to poor people.

6. As the boy grew up, nothing was
concealed from him, so he did all in
his power to acquire wisdom. His
intellect was so great that he
understood everything that he saw or
heard. The people regarded him with
respect, and the priests were afraid of
his questions. When he was of full age
he went to his parents. They had to
listen to some hard language; and to
get rid of him they gave him a
quantity of jewels, but they dared not
openly acknowledge him.

7. Overcome with sorrow at the false
shame of his parents, he wandered
about. While travelling he fell in with
a navigator from Fryasland who was
serving as a slave, and who taught
him our manners and customs. He
bought the freedom of the slave, and
they remained friends till death.
Wherever he went he taught the
people not to tolerate rich men or
priests, and that they must guard
themselves against false shame,
which everywhere did harm to love
and charity.

8. He said, "Irtha bestows her
treasures on those who scratch her
skin; so all are obliged to dig, and
plough, and sow if they wish to reap,
but no one is obliged to do anything
for another unless it be out of
goodwill."

9. He taught that men should not seek
in her bowels for gold, or silver, or
precious stones, which occasion envy
and destroy love.

10. He said, "To embellish your wives
and daughters, the river offers her
pure stream. No man is able to make
everybody equally rich and happy, but
it is the duty of all men to make each
other as equally rich and as happy as
possible. Men should not despise any
knowledge; but justice is the greatest
knowledge that time can teach,
because she wards off offences and
promotes love."

11. His first name was Jesus, but the
priests, who hated him, called him Fo,
that is, "False"; the people called him
Krisen, that is, "Shepherd"; and his
friend who was a Child of Frya called
him Buda, because he had in his head
a treasure of wisdom, and in his heart
a treasure of love.

12. At last he was obliged to flee from
the wrath of the priests; but wherever
he went his teaching had preceded
him, whilst his enemies followed him
like his shadow. When Jesus had thus
travelled for twelve years he died; but
his friends preserved his teaching,
and spread it wherever they found
listeners.

13. What do you think the priests did
then? That I must tell you, and you
must give your best attention to it.
Moreover, you must keep guard
against their acts and their tricks
with all the strength that Wr-alda has
given you. While the doctrine of Jesus
was thus spreading over Irtha, the
false priests went to the land of his
birth to make his death known.

14. They said they were his friends,
and they pretended to show great
sorrow by tearing their clothes and
shaving their heads.

15. They went to live in caves in the
mountains, but in them they had hid
all their treasures, and they made in
them images of Jesus. They gave these
statues to simple people, and at last
they said that Jesus was a god, that
he had declared this himself to them,
and that all those who followed his
doctrine should enter his kingdom
hereafter, where all was joy and
happiness.

16. Because they knew that he was
opposed to the rich, they announced
everywhere that poverty, suffering,
and humility were the door by which
to enter into his kingdom, and that
those who had suffered the most on
Irtha should enjoy the greatest
happiness there.

17. Although they knew that Jesus
had taught that men should regulate
and control their passions, they
taught that men should stifle their
passions, and that the perfection of
humanity consisted in being as
unfeeling as the cold stones.

18. In order to make the people
believe that they did as they preached,
they pretended to outward poverty;
and that they had overcome all
sensual feelings, they took no wives.
But if any young girl had made a false
step, it was quickly forgiven.

19. They said, "The weak are to be
assisted, and to save their souls men
must give largely to the temple."

20. Acting in this way, they had wives
and children without households, and
were rich without working; but the
people grew poorer and more
miserable than they had ever been
before.

21. This doctrine, which requires the
priests to possess no further
knowledge than to speak deceitfully,
and to pretend to be pious while
acting unjustly, spreads from east to
west, and will come to our land also.

22. But when the priests fancy that
they have entirely extinguished the
light of Frya and Jesus, then shall all
classes of men rise up who have
quietly preserved the truth among
themselves, and have hidden it from
the priests. They shall be of princely
blood of priests, slave blood, and
Frya's blood. They will make their
light visible, so that all men shall see
the truth; they shall cry woe to the
acts of the princes and the priests.

23. The princes who love the truth
and justice shall separate themselves
from the priests; blood shall flow, but
from it the people will gather new
strength. Finda's people shall
contribute their industry to the
common good, Lyda's people their
strength, and we our wisdom. Then
the false priests shall be swept away
from Irtha. Wr-alda's spirit shall be
invoked everywhere and always; the
laws that Wr-alda in the beginning
instilled into our consciences shall
alone be listened to.

It may interest people to learn that there is such a thing as the Oera Linda religion, based on the book, of which I'm a member. Its website can be found here:

What the Oera Linda Book is basically saying is that Jesus, Krishna, and Buddha were the same person, born in 594 BC in Kashmir. I have studied this book for many years and believe that it contains great spiritual truths, so this concept cannot be lightly dismissed.

There is no historical information that claims it was created by women for women.

If you read the text, women did play a much different role in society than most well known cultures.  But that is the extent of it.  It was a religion FOR men and women alike.   But don't take my word for it; read the book.

The only religions started for women by women are some fluffy bunny cults.
