BOOK OF THE MONTH JUNE 2007
THE ANCIENT BRITISH GODDESS
by Kathy Jones
Synopsis
In ancient Britain the Goddess was the One who expressed Herself through the Many. She was the great Void, the Beginning of all things. She was the Source of Life, the Creatrix, Continuer and Destroyer of all that exists. She was the Matrix, the Great Mother, Spinner of the Thread of Life and Destiny, Weaver of the Web of Continuity and Cutter of the Thread at death. All souls were born from Her sacred Womb, lived for a span upon Her Body the Earth, then returned to Her Tomb/Womb at death. She was Mother of the Stars in the Heavens and of all Nature. She was the Tree of Life.
She was the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone; the Virgin, the Lover and the Whore. The Holy Grael of Immortality, the Chalice of Love and the Cauldron of Transformation were all in Her keeping, reflecting Her Triple nature. She was the Three, Nine and Nineteen Sisters, Ladies, Maidens, Mothers, Faerie Queens, Crones or Hags, who expressed themselves through the fourfold cycle of Her seasons. Nothing has changed, it is all still true! She lives now, today, here in our land! In legend and landscape.
Reviews
This is a fascinating exploration of the goddess as reflected in the history of the British peoples. Each chapter looks at a different season and a different aspect of the goddess. Its easy to follow and full of wonderful pictures. The book explains how the old beliefs have survived in different forms and different words over the centuries. The final chapter looks at goddess worship today and how women (and some men) have rediscovered the power of the goddess energy. (Inspirational Friends Review)
