BOOK REVIEW
It has long been held, by both theologians and
anthropologists, that the British Isles have never known Goddess worship.
In fact, the exact reverse is true. For the vast majority of the
islands' history the veneration of a female Supreme Being (Mother-Goddess)
was the only religion known. Indeed, from the Late Paleolithic Age
(100,000 years ago) to the Late Neolithic Age (4500 BCE), the concept of a
male deity (Father-God) did not even exist.
Proof of Anglo-Celtic Goddess worship is overwhelmingly plentiful.
Britain, Ireland, and Scotland, for example, were all named after
Goddesses, as were many of these nations' rivers, islands, towns, hills,
and mountains.
Reinforcing this evidence is the fact that many surrounding countries and
regions also take their names from female deities. Among these we have
Italy, Holland, Denmark, Crete, Malta, Albania, and Scandinavia.
Europe is named after a Goddess, as is our planet itself.
The focus of L. Seabrook's The Book of Kelle, however, is on the
Goddess Kelle, who gave her name to her most ardent followers: the Kelts
or Celts.
Known by the poets as
"the Blessed Lady of Ireland," Kelle's story is a rich and fascinating
one; one that the author traces back through to early Asia, where she is
still worshipped to this day as the Goddess Kali.
