Synopsis

The Goddess Dictionary of Words and Phrases: Introducing a New Core Vocabulary for the Women’s Spirituality Movement, by award-winning author and historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook, is an educational compendium of vital information regarding the universal deity known around the world for thousands of years as “Goddess.” As such, this work focuses specifically on various androcentric or patriarchal terms, expressions, and maxims, from ancient to modern times.

Colonel Seabrook has taken these and feminized (or emasculated) them, a process that has created a new core vocabulary of feministic Goddess-oriented words and phrases. Many of his inventions are what could rightfully be called “new old” words and phrases. That is, he has taken the God-based wording of our modern male-dominant vocabulary and simply returned it to its original prehistoric feminine form.

After the Patriarchal Takeover (which began c. 4300 BCE), misogynistic priests masculinized them, suppressing the original feminine versions. The Goddess Dictionary of Words and Phrases allows these ancient silenced expressions, dedicated to the Great Mother (known in Syria as Mari, in Greece as Myrrha, in ancient Rome as Maria, in early Egypt as Meri, in Babylonia as Marratu, in Israel as Marah, in India as Kel-Mari, in Buddhism as Mara, in Scandinavia as Maerin, in the British Isles as Maid Marian, and in Christianity as Mary), to be brought back to life.

Fascinatingly, the author covers the relationship between numerous biblical and Pagan doctrines as embedded in the context of ancient history. The Goddess Dictionary of Words and Phrases is an important reference book for anyone interested in thealogy (feminine spirituality), matriarchal and patriarchal language, and the prehistoric Matriarchate.

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) and the “Southern Joseph Campbell” for his numerous popular works on mythology, religion, and spirituality, Colonel Seabrook is a 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage, the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, the 21st great-grandson of King Edward I, the 40th great-grandson of British Queen Boudicca, and the author of over 50 popular books that have introduced hundreds of thousands to the hidden truths about Jesus, Christianity, and the Bible. He has a 40 year background in American history, Southern history, comparative religion and mythology, and Bible studies, and is the author of the international blockbuster Jesus and the Law of Attraction.

A specialist in thealogy (Goddess-oriented religion), his other works include: Jesus and the Gospel of Q; Seabrook’s Bible Dictionary of Traditional and Mystical Christian Doctrines; The Bible and the Law of Attraction; Christ Is All and In All: Rediscovering Your Divine Nature and the Kingdom Within; Britannia Rules: Goddess-Worship in Ancient Anglo-Celtic Society; Princess Diana: Modern Day Moon-Goddess - A Psychoanalytical and Mythological Look at Diana Spencer’s Life, Marriage, and Death (with Dr. Jane Goldberg); Aphrodite’s Trade: The Hidden History of Prostitution Unveiled; Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories: True Tales of the Unexplained From Tennessee’s Most Haunted Civil War House!; UFOs and Aliens: The Complete Guidebook; and Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!
