Description

Britannia Rules: Goddess-Worship in Ancient Anglo-Celtic Society; by award-winning author and historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook; is a unique and captivating book that celebrates a seldom discussed; yet long and noble English; Welsh; Irish; and Scottish tradition; one that dates back to the earliest inhabitants of the British Isles: female-based religion. In this fascinating work Colonel Seabrook overturns the long-standing notion that the first Britons and Celts were “patriarchal” and that they worshiped a male “Heavenly Father.” Using the latest archaeological; anthropological; etymological; onomastic; historical; and mythological evidence; he shows that both the Anglo-Saxons and the Celts were matriarchal peoples who venerated the Supreme Being in female form. This “Heavenly Mother” of the early Celto-Britons was none other than the universal “Great Goddess;” venerated around the ancient world under a myriad of names; and who manifested in ancient Egypt as Isis; in Judaism as Asherah; in Hinduism as Kali Ma; in Gnostic Christianity as Sophia; in orthodox Christianity as Mary; in Buddhism as Mara; and in the British Isles as Britannia. In light of the overwhelming worldwide reemergence of feminine spirituality; the advent of the Goddess Reclamation Movement; the recent resurgence of British and American interest in traditional Anglo-Celtic culture; and the new found interest in the real relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene; Britannia Rules is a topical work; one that will be read with keen interest; not only by those readers who are of English and Celtic heritage; but by people of all nationalities and faiths. Religion authority and Civil War scholar Lochlainn Seabrook; a descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens and John S. Mosby; is the most prolific and popular pro-South writer in the world today.
