Editorial Review:
An inspiring journey into the bounteous and abundant nature of the native British Goddesses. Based in the English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish traditions, the book explores the Goddess in Brigit's Isles as * Maiden * Lover * Mother * Crone * Mother of the Elements:Earth, Water, Fire, Air Some Goddess names will be familiar, others will come as if from a dream, a remembering of a time long ago when the Goddess was truly honoured and loved in the islands. There is a section on the return of Goddess spirituality and consciousness and Her Present Day Revelation.
The Ancient British Goddess: Her Myths, Legends, Sacred Sites and Present Day Revelation Reviews:
Amazing work 
2005-12-07 - This is one of my most treasured Goddess books of all time. It is both informative and inspiring. The author clearly knows the stories and living myth of her land. Rarely are the traditions which have endured for thousands of years so clearly and intimately articulated. In this book, we get a glimps into what is known on the subject through a tapestry of oral tradition, archeology, and scholarly research on the subject. The book is also full of unique and beautiful illustrations and photographs, bringing the words alive. As a long time student of what is termed womens spirituality, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject as an original and spirited work with information found no where else.
Just another Notch in the new age wave of fluffy pablum 
2005-11-04 - Not the greatest of books. Those wishing to learn about Celtic roots and the celtic peoples would be wiser to study the Tain and Barddas, and the whole other host of authors doing real reconstructionism. Try RJ stewart. Another weird thing about this book is, why is the goddess on the front of the cover black ? I mean this is a book about the British people and their godess. The least the author could have done was pay tribute to the culture she is writting about, instead of "spicing it up" with multi-culturalist wiccan ideals.
