The Celtic Goddess: Great Queen or Demon Witch?

Summary: Traces the decline of a divine figure
Review: The Celtic Goddess: Great Queen or Demon Witch? by medieval studies expert, writer and lecturer Claire French is a thoroughly fascinating study of the Celtic Goddess figure, venerated in triple form as Virgin, Mother, and Crone. From the ancient rituals that used to honor her to her displacement by Druidism in the fifth century BC (and her condemnation by Christianity), The Celtic Goddess traces the decline of a divine figure with scholarly accuracy and emotional heart. The Celtic Goddess is a very highly recommended, unique religious study. Also highly recommended is Claire French's The Queen Of The Silver Castle (...) in which she retells the story of Rhiannon and Pwyll for younger readers.
