The Myth of the Goddess:
The Myth of the Goddess
From the Paleolithic Age to the present-day Gaia Hypothesis, the myth of the Goddess is the oldest myth we know. The authors examine "myths and images of goddesses from different cultures. . . . They aim to chart 'the continuous chain of images through different cultures from 20,000 B.C. onwards, gathering them all together so that their underlying unity can appear.' . . . Jules Cashford and Anne Baring draw upon art and mythology, poetry and literature, archaeology and psychology, to show how the myth of the Goddess has been lost from our formal Judaeo-Christian images of the divine. They explain what happened to the Goddess, when and how she was excluded, and the implications to us of this loss. They trace the image of the Great Mother Goddess of the Palaeolithic and Neolithic times through the Bronze and Iron Ages to the Virgin Mary, 'Queen of Heaven'. They show how the God separated from the originally androgynous Goddess and eventually came to stand alone as the creator of the world. ... the formal disappearance of goddess myths is a pivotal event signaling the devaluation of the feminine and the opposition of feeling to thinking. They interpret the Virgin Mary as the unrecognized mother goddess of Christianity, identify hidden images of the goddess in the Old Testament and demonstrate that a Hebrew goddess existed in various forms such as the Shekhinah, founder of the world in Kabbalism.

The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's
Capital: The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C.
Ovason maintains that Washington’s founders deliberately aligned the city with the stars, arguing that the capital was, in effect, consecrated to Virgo, the astrological sign, which he also connects with the Egyptian goddess Isis.
Today, there are more than twenty complete zodiacs in Washington, D.C. -- each one pointing to an extraordinary mystery. David Ovason, who has studied these astrological devices for ten years, now reveals why they have been placed in such abundance in the center of our nation's capital and explains their interconnections. His richly illustrated text tells the story of how Washington, from its foundation in 1791, was linked with the zodiac, with the meaning of certain stars, and with a hidden cosmological symbolism that he uncovers here for the first time.

A History of Pagan Europe:
The authors assert that the original pagan religions of Europe were polytheistic and had goddess and nature elements (without the Fall) that were often incompatible with the invading group's belief system. A ubiquitous and fascinating theme is the role of the goddess and women in each religion. The authors are occasionally guilty of generalizations when trying to cover too long a period. Nevertheless, this work will satisfy those interested in a background for New Age spirituality. In Paperback Format.
