The Goddess Dictionary of Words and Phrases 2nd edition

Award-winning Tennessee author and Southern historian Lochlainn Seabrook?s ?The Goddess Dictionary of Words and Phrases? 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. 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. This is an important reference book for anyone interested in feminine spirituality and the prehistoric Matriarchate.
