  So ancient was Totemism in Egypt that the Totems of the human Mothers had become the signs of Goddesses, in whom the head of the beast was blended with the figure of the human female. The Totems of the human Mothers had attained the highest status as Totems of a Motherhood that was held to be divine, the Motherhood in Nature which was elemental in its origin. –from “Totemism, Tattoo and Fetishism as Forms of Sign Language” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 2 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey reads the prehistoric story of human civilization that can be studied in the language of ceremonial rites, ancient customs, and ritual dance, and consequently explores the resultant concept that religion evolved out of expressions of human fertility and sexuality–particularly as embodied in the primeval symbols of blood, sacrifice, and motherhood–and formed the first influences on Judeo-Christianity. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

  The Goddesses of Olympus - The...

  Greek mythology is filled with powerful deities, but the goddesses of Olympus stand out as figures of immense influence, embodying wisdom, love, war, motherhood, and the natural world. Unlike many other ancient pantheons, the Greek goddesses were not merely passive consorts to male gods; they held dominion over vast aspects of life and fate, shaping the world alongside their male counterparts. Their myths reveal complex personalities, often showcasing both nurturing and vengeful qualities, making them among the most dynamic figures in classical mythology.  
  The Olympian goddesses played a crucial role in the religious and cultural life of the ancient Greeks. Each goddess had her own temples, festivals, and priestesses, emphasizing her importance in daily worship and ritual practice. For example, Athena’s grand temple, the Parthenon, dominated Athens, reflecting her status as the city’s protector. Similarly, Demeter’s worship at Eleusis was central to agricultural and spiritual life, demonstrating the deep connection between divine power and human existence. These deities were not merely symbols; they were revered beings believed to influence everything from war strategies to the fertility of the land.  
  Beyond religion, Greek goddesses also played a major role in storytelling, appearing in epic poetry, drama, and philosophy. Figures like Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite were central to the Trojan War myth, while Persephone’s descent into the underworld explained the changing of the seasons. Their myths often reflected the Greeks’ views on power, femininity, and morality. Unlike the rigid roles imposed on mortal women, the goddesses possessed a wide range of attributes, from Artemis’s independence and warrior spirit to Hestia’s quiet but essential presence as the guardian of the home. Through these divine narratives, the Greeks explored themes of justice, fate, love, and revenge, using their goddesses as symbols of both order and chaos.

  She is But a Woman - Queenship...

  She is but a Woman, the first in-depth study of medieval Scottish queens, investigates the relationship between gender and power in the medieval Scottish court by exploring the art of queenship as practised by Joan Beaufort and Mary of Guelders, queens of James I and James II. These women were excluded from authority but clearly possessed power as wives and mothers of kings. They established and cultivated relationships with members of the court, learned about Scottish political life and supported their husbands in the business of government. The book examines for the first time the arrivals of Joan and Mary in Scotland, their social and political status, their relationships with their husbands and families, and their roles in international diplomacy.
  This modern re-evaluation of the role and power of the medieval queen is a thematic exploration rather than a biographical study. It situates the experiences of Joan and Mary within a broader European context and provides a new perspective on Scotland's political, social and cultural links with Europe in the fifteenth century.
