In an era that has reclaimed many aspects of the feminine, Margaret Starbird’s The Woman with the Alabaster Jar stands out as a courageous exploration of the scorned feminine in the Western religious tradition. But espousing the marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene created a personal crisis for this Catholic scholar. In The Goddess in the Gospels the author tells how she was guided in her ever-deepening study of the New Testament and the gematria--number coding of the Greek alphabet--by an incredible series of synchronicities that mirror the inner and outer worlds and which reveal the Sacred Marriage of male and female--the hieros gamous--leading to her own personal redemption.

Reveals the tradition of goddess worship in early Judaism and how Jesus attempted to restore the feminine side of the faith • Provides historical and archaeological evidence for an earlier form of Hebrew worship with both male and female gods, including a 20th-century discovery of a Hebrew temple dedicated to both Yahweh and the warrior goddess Anat • Explores the Hebrew pantheon of goddesses, including Yahweh’s wife, Asherah, goddess of fertility and childbirth • Shows how both Jesus and his great rival Simon Magus were attempting to restore the ancient, goddess-worshipping religion of the Israelites Despite what Jews and Christians--and indeed most people--believe, the ancient Israelites venerated several deities besides the Old Testament god Yahweh, including the goddess Asherah, Yahweh’s wife, who was worshipped openly in the Jerusalem Temple. After the reforms of King Josiah and Prophet Jeremiah, the religion recognized Yahweh alone, and history was rewritten to make it appear that it had always been that way. The worship of Asherah and other goddesses was now heresy, and so the status of women was downgraded and they were blamed for God’s wrath. However, as Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince reveal, the spiritual legacy of the Jewish goddesses and the Sacred Feminine lives on. Drawing on historical research, they examine how goddess worship thrived in early Judaism and included a pantheon of goddesses. They share new evidence for an earlier form of Hebrew worship that prayed to both male and female gods, including a 20th-century archaeological discovery of a Hebrew temple dedicated to both Yahweh and the goddess Anat. Uncovering the Sacred Feminine in early Christianity, the authors show how, in the first century AD, both Jesus and his great rival, Simon Magus, were attempting to restore the goddess-worshipping religion of the Israelites. The authors reveal how both men accorded great honor to the women they adored and who traveled with them as priestesses, Jesus’s Mary Magdalene and Simon’s Helen. But, as had happened centuries before, the Church rewrote history to erase the feminine side of the faith, deliberately ignoring Jesus’s real message and again condemning women to marginalization and worse. Providing all the necessary evidence to restore the goddess to both Judaism and Christianity, Picknett and Prince expose the disastrous consequences of the suppression of the feminine from these two great religions and reveal how we have been collectively and instinctively craving the return of the Sacred Feminine for millennia.

Back to the WombThe Goddess in the Gospel of Johnby Cissy Capers The secret teachings of Jesus were never lost, they just took over 2,000 years to find!More than any of the other three gospels in the New Testament, the Gospel of John was a favorite among various Gnostic groups. For over 2,000 years, legends have surrounded this enigmatic gospel and the curious Gnostic propensity toward it. According to these accounts, the Gospel of John was a repository of arcane wisdom and knowledge which was passed down from directly from Jesus to his favorite disciple. This knowledge became known as the secret teachings of Jesus.The most pervasive of the legends pertains in particular to the Cathars of Southern France. Once considered a heretical Gnostic group, the Cathars were ruthlessly massacred in 1244 C.E. at the hands of the Roman `Catholic Church at their fortress called Montsegur. Historical accounts relate that a few of the Cathars were able to escape the fiery siege with the treasure, and carry it with them to safety in the nearby caves. The nature of this mysterious and sacred treasure has been the subject of much conjecture over the years, and many theories exist as to the contents of the "Treasure of the Cathars" ranging from their Church treasury which contained a cache of monetary and material artifacts, to sacred books with secret genealogies. Some have even suggested that it may have been the Holy Grail.But the majority of speculations persist that the treasure they possessed was a sacred text, an alternative version of their beloved Gospel of John. This is a golden thread which runs throughout the fabric of the Cathar tradition, and it is one that would also support the recurrent Gnostic proclivity and reverence for the Gospel of John since the origins of Christianity. Another reason for this conjecture is that since the Cathars led such austere lifestyles, material objects would seem to be inconsequential to their concept of a treasure. A spiritual treasure trove would be more in keeping with their noble heritage. They recognized the transitoriness of life and the vanity of earthly possessions, and realized the only reality worthy of total commitment was their relationship to God which they learned through their teachings.For over 700 years, treasure hunters have sought this elusive cache throughout the land of the Cathars - in their ruins, in their caves and grottoes, in their castles and abbeys, and even in their forests.Yet it still remained hidden - until now... proving The Goddess IS Alive!!

Before the rise of monotheism, the early Hebrews were pagan and the Old Testament tells the story of the divorce of God from his wife, the Mother Goddess. Many familiar Bible characters are reinterpreted in a fresh light; Moses, King Solomon, Jezebel, and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Bible stories are contrasted to the older goddess mythology from Mesopotamia about Inanna and Ishtar and the goddess mythology from Greece and Egypt.

The mother of Christ has taken various forms throughout the centuries--among them are the Blessed Virgin, the Queen of Heaven, the Madonna, and the spiritual mother of all the faithful. Yet despite her high enthronement in the Catholic Church, Mary, as both chaste goddess and earth mother, has her origins in pre-Christian religions, of which the chief deities were female. In this masterly exploration of the cult of Mary, Geoffrey Ashe examines ancinet myths, theology, history, literature, and feminine spirituality to throw new light on the role of Mary in today's Church. Tracing the cult from its origins to the present day with the resubordination of Mary to Christ, this remarkable book also illuminates the spiritual battle of the sexes, a conflict that remains unresolved to this day.

The Goddess Revival is a Christianity Today Book Award Winner, 1996. "All of the authors are clearly sympathetic to the problems women have faced in the church throughout its history. They empathize with women who shun the patriarchal oppression of their churches to turn to goddess spirituality. They are also solidly grounded in the Scriptures, Christian theology and church history. They recognize the bondage imposed by goddess worship. This book presents a scholarly and clear consideration of the issues involved and builds a strong case for Christianity as the most woman-friendly alternative. While providing a comprehensive study of goddess spirituality and examining the roots of the movement, the authors focus primarily on God and the way people have understood God through the centuries--in both paganism and the Judeo-Christian tradition--as both male and female. They demonstrate how the uniqueness of God contrasts with the multiplicity of gods and goddesses in pagan spiritualities, while comparing the values in both traditions that are similar (that is, a search for what is good, inner empowerment, unity, positive social change). In the process of building a clear Christian theology, they gently counter the arguments of their pagan opponents. In the end, the reader is left with a glorious picture of the one true God and a clear apologetic for those in nursing who insist that the Christian God is too oppressive and patriarchal to merit our allegience. The appendixes provide a powerful case study of a young woman drawn into witchcraft. She explains why it appealed to her, then how it enslaved her and destroyed her marriage and other relationships. . . The two final appendixes offer some excellent biblical studies on the issues raised in the book. The total package provides an outstanding resource" -- Journal of Christian Nursing

Why Were the Teachings of the Original Christians Brutally Suppressed by the Roman Church? • Because they portray Jesus and Mary Magdalene as mythic figures based on the Pagan Godman and Goddess • Because they show that the gospel story is a spiritual allegory encapsulating a profound philosophy that leads to mythical enlightenment • Because they have the power to turn the world inside out and transform life into an exploration of consciousness Drawing on modern scholarship, the authors of the international bestseller The Jesus Mysteries decode the secret teachings of the original Christians for the first time in almost two millennia and theorize about who the original Christians really were and what they actually taught. In addition, the book explores the many myths of Jesus and the Goddess and unlocks the lost secret teachings of Christian mysticism, which promise happiness and immortality to those who attain the state of Gnosis, or enlightenment. This daring and controversial book recovers the ancient wisdom of the original Christians and demonstrates its relevance to us today.
