Lochlainn Seabrook
?Britannia Rules,? by award-winning author and historian 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. Here, the author 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, Seabrook 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 Islam as Allat, in Hinduism as Kali Ma, in Gnostic Christianity as Sophia, in orthodox Christianity as Mary, and in Buddhism as Mara. 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, this 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. Lochlainn Seabrook is the winner of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, awarded by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Known as the ?American Robert Graves? after his celebrated British cousin, Seabrook is a seventh-generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage, the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, the twenty-first great-grandson of King Edward I, the fortieth great-grandson of British Queen Boudicca, and the author of over thirty popular books. A specialist in thealogy (Goddess-oriented religion), his works include: ?Britannia Rules: Goddess-Worship in Ancient Anglo-Celtic Society?; ?The Book of Kelle: An Introduction to Goddess-Worship and the Great Celtic Mother-Goddess Kelle?; ?The Goddess Dictionary of Words and Phrases?; ?Christmas Before Christianity: How the Birthday of the ?Sun? Became the Birthday of the ?Son??; ?The Quotable Jefferson Davis?; ?The Quotable Robert E. Lee?; ?Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View?; ?The Unquotable Abraham Lincoln?; ?A Rebel Born: A Defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest?; ?The McGavocks of Carnton Plantation: A Southern History?; ?Nathan Bedford Forrest: Southern Hero, American Patriot?; ?Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories: True Tales of the Unexplained From Tennessee?s Most Haunted Civil War House!?; and ?The Blakeneys: An Etymological, Ethnological, and Genealogical Study.?
