The Goddess, the Grail and the Lodge

Book review by Tracey
This book was a fascinating read! I confess that there were so many details in it that I cannot remember even half of the pertinent ones, but this author was so caught up in his theory that he carried you right along with him. Mr. Butler documents world history from ancient times to the present day in respect to Goddess worship, and how it is still alive in the world today. There are a lot of references to past prominent theories. Mr. Butler shows us exactly how they tie in with his story. He also gives the reader quite a bit of technical information, for instance, how it is that all the megalithic monuments such as Stonehenge and Avebury are built to the same scale, even though the people who built them could not have known each other. Another example is the tracing of so-called “salt lines”, which just happen to be where a lot of significant structures are placed, even today. Mr. Butler also delves into the prominence of the Knights Templar--how he feels that they and others within the Catholic Church were and are really practicing Goddess worship. I found it all very interesting, even when over my head. The author has some very valid and well thought out points. Anyone wishing for more knowledge of the history of religion, the goddess, or even just a good mystery will enjoy this book.
