          Welcome to the Celtic Goddess, who is one manifestation of
     the Great Goddess, or White Goddess, who dominated mytho-poetics
     over a vast region of Europe and Asia for millenia starting
     before the Neolithic began.  When the Indo-Europeans began to
     emerge from their homeland in southwestern Russia c.4,000 and
     migrate to both the west and east, their mytho-poetics of the
     male sky god collided with those of the White Goddess.  In many
     instances, the Great Goddess was mortally wounded and driven
     underground in dozens of disconnected pieces.  The Indo-Europeans
     were an aggressive nomadic people who had domesticated the horse
     and were adept at conducting mobile warfare with chariots.  This
     technology allowed them to quickly dominate in many regions; we
     can side step the debate over the degree of pacifism inherent in
     Goddess culture.
          However at the margin of their migrations, particularly in
     India and the Celtic realms of Europe, a much more complex
     interaction took place than simple warfare with clear-cut victory
     and defeat.  The Indo-European invaders and the indigenous
     peoples fused into cultures that were hybrid on many levels from
     the mytho-poetic to the societal forms and rituals that are given
     structure by the myths.  The White Goddess acquired new power and
     attributes, most notably in her manifestation as the Mare Goddess
     (horses were only food animals before the Indo-Europeans).  The
     newly evolved Great Goddess possessed enormous strength which
     enabled her to resist the onslaught of Christianity for many
     centuries.
          The White Goddess was never completely extinguished,
     although brutalized and maimed almost beyond recognition.  By the
     late Middle Ages fragments of her ritual were preserved in the
     underground of peasant culture by women who came to be known as
     `witches'.  Sound scholarship has confirmed that they had little
     conscious knowledge of the ancient mytho-poetics but especially
     in the realm of healing, they preserved a portion of the timeless
     ritual.  In the second half of this century, Western Culture is
     experiencing a New Age Movement, part of which is an attempt to
     rediscover the Goddess as an antedote to the spiritual sterility,
     chauvanism, aggression and ecological imperialism of the
     mainstream Christian Church.  One of the timeless themes of
     history is the nostalgia for a `golden age' of the past, when
     life was simpler and better.  In many hands, our contemporary
     revival of the Goddess begins with this dream then mixes in a
     little historical knowledge, personal anger and existentialism,
     and concludes by adding a heavy dose of feminist politics and
     then stirs well.  The result is a `reinvention' of tradition in a
     fashion that has become typically American and typical of New Age
     Movements in general.  Much of our fantasy literature and role-
     playing game design draws heavily upon an imagined Celtic realm
     that bears little relationship to what actually existed; their
     validity must lie in an assessment of their contribution to the
     imagination which is often considerable.
          The problem thus created is enormous and my perception of
     this problem is a major motivation for an in-depth exploration of
     the archetypal Goddess, as opposed to the cartoon version
     available for sale in countless bookstores, retreat centers and
     weekend workshops.  `Reinvention' of the Goddess is hardly
     necessary and indeed almost laughable in conception.  She is, and
     always will be, there!  Our job, if we wish to contact her, is to
     disover her; she is objectively real.  Indeed the best of New Age
     Movements use the verb `disover' rather than `reinvent.'  Putting
     the Goddess into the clothes of contemporary pyscho-babble and
     New Age cultism insults her deeply and renders the profound
     trivial.  The timeless truth that mytho-poetics cannot be
     divorced from context is no mere abstraction.  The Goddess and
     Indo-European mythology, are the products of particular cultures
     evolving in very specific times and places.  Everything nurtures
     everything else and all input is essential.  In order to
     understand either system, which persisted in a strong and vital
     condition for millenia, it is necessary to explore the myths and
     cultures of those times in detail.
          Only then can an informed judgement be made as to whether
     some or all of an ancient mytho-poetic might be applicable to our
     times, and if so, how such application might proceed.  This
     approach recognizes and respects the cultural gulf between the
     creators of those mythic systems and ourselves.  The gap between
     our society and tribal agriculturalists living in villages, towns
     and small cities (Goddess culture) or nomadic pastoralists
     forever on the move for land and adventure (Indo-Europeans) is
     enormous.  To assume, without thinking, that the mytho-poetics of
     the Goddess can be applied to ourselves is simplistic, to say the
     least, for there is no similarity in cultural context.  My
     objective in attempting to present an accurate historical record
     is not to set the stage for a conclusion of irrelevancy; I firmly
     believe that the Goddess is very relevant to our age.  But that
     relevance will require modification and adaptation and should not
     be attempted in a vacuum of historical ignorance.  If we
     understand where we were than we can better understand where we
     are and we thereby respect the Goddess.  She won't help you if
     you do not understand her and cannot respect her.  You should
     also be aware that some of the historical record about ancient
     ritual documents practices that are extreme, to say the least,
     and might shock some readers.  I have no wish to be offensive,
     but where the record is clear and potentially of significance it
     must be presented and discussed.  Such is the timeless ethic of
     commitment to search for what is real.  Hopefully, our vision and
     perspective are thereby broadened and we grow in intellectual
     knowledge and spiritual insight.
     
          First, a word about what is contained in this book.  This is
     not research that summarizes the archeology and history of the
     Celts.  Many good books are available on those subjects and there
     are several recommendation below and extensive references in the
     complete registered version of The Great Goddess in Celtic and
     Germanic Realsm.  This data base relies upon epic tales from
     medieval Ireland and Wales in which the Goddess plays a central
     role.  Much interpretative nonsense has appeared in recent years
     that deals with these tales and separating the wheat from the
     chaff is not easy.  To begin with, the researcher must exercise
     considerable self-discipline not to filter the analyis through
     the trendy nonsense of the worst of New Age goddess re-invention
     fantasies.  Our job here is to see what is truly there, no more
     and no less, and leave the application to our times for another
     day.  Hard harded archeologists scoff at using these narratives
     for a serious reconstruction of goddess mytho-poetics and ritual.
     The data certainly does not meet the requirements for `hard'; it
     is not an archeological object which has an objective physical
     existence; size, weight, surface contours etc. are often not 
     subjected to varying interpretation because they are largely
     quantifiable.  Nonetheless, there is a goldmine of valuable
     information in these epics, if one has done one's homework in the
     surrounding context of Celtic and Indo-European history and the
     religion and ritual of the Neolithic goddess of Old Europe
     (cf. Gimbutas 1989).  Filtered through this interpretative structure,
     one can extract the metaphors, philosophy and ritual of the
     Celtic goddess without indulging in flights of irrelevant
     fantasy.
          Furthermore, these are the only written epics about the
     Goddess that exist outside of India.  Granted the Celtic epics
     are not `pure' in the sense of pre-Christian but removing the
     Christian influence to uncover the goddess is not too difficult.
     An analysis of the Christian overlay allows us to chronicle the
     death of the Goddess.  What is unveiled is extraordinary and a
     `window' into the distant pre-Christian past that has enormous
     interest and potentially great relevance for out times.  This
     text relies heavily upon two studies which are unusual for their
     depth and clarity; O'Flaherty (1980) and Doan (1987).  The latter
     is almost unique in the manner in which it explores the texts of
     the epics in great detail and brings to life the flesh and blood
     goddess with all of her personality and multiple manifestations.
     In these epics, the goddess is alive and vital and certainly not
     a mere intellectual reconstruction.  Unfortunately, Doan (1987)
     is an `in house' manuscript that is virtually unavailable to the
     general public.  It was `published' in one of the most restricted
     forms imagineable, that of a university departmental monograph.
     I have chosen to share this valuable study with a much larger
     readership; it is unique in its clarity, rigor and discipline.  I
     hope your interest is awakened and you will provide yourself with
     a very special reading experience that might, depending upon your
     life, lead into realms that go beyond the `mere' study of
     religious history.

          To enjoy the reports in the archive CELT12.ZIP simply
     unarchive the ZIP file to a directory of your choice.  There are 
     two executable files in the archive plus readme.1st which is 
     an ASCII text file.  The executables are self running 
     'electronic books'.  Enter the file name at the command line as 
     you would with any DOS program and press <E>.  The opening screen 
     of the 'book' will appear with menu items for you to select with 
     the keyboard.  These menu items correspond to chapter or section 
     headings within the document.  By selecting one, you will jump 
     immediately to that section.  If you wish to read the document 
     from the beginning to the end without interruption, select the 
     first menu item and proceed.  Moving throughout the 'book' is 
     intuitive using the arrow, page, home and end keys.  Read the top 
     and bottom menu bars for 'hot keys' which allow you to save and 
     print sections or the entire 'book' and perform other functions.         
          If you have the Microscoft Word for Windows version,
     decompress the files to your WinWord directory itself.  Files may

     Upper Paleolithic.  Enter the Dreamtime with Indians of the 
     Amazon.  Available with a new state-of-the-art document 
     view/print interface, the same as you are now using.

     version 1.2.  Explore tantra, gnosticism, the sacred horse ceremony
     that empowered the king, the saga of the doomsday mare, the goddess

          The data entry for an update to TimeLine, our historical
     timeline 10,000 B.C. to 900 A.D. has just been completed.  Much 
     rewriting and additional significant new material has been 
     incorported, particularly for Asia.  A version will be available 
     which makes use of Replica for Windows, a breathrough product for 
     viewing documents which allows the user to bypass specific Windows 
     applications. 
     
          Reality Software is in the midst of negotiating for a 
     commercial license for Replica in order to utilize this new, 
     innovative document viewing system for Windows.  If all goes as 
     planned, each of our forthcoming releases will be available in a 
     very attractive, highly designed version for Windows that will not 
     require the user to own any particular Windows word processor or 
     text editor.  We are very excited about this development!
     
                             
     
     
     RELEASES SCHEDULED FOR 1994
     
          A major study of celtic druids, their lives, training and
     sacred lore is nearing completion. This study is exhaustive and
     definitive and true to the historical record. Important material 
     is drawn from the work of older historians who had access to private
     manuscript collections in monasteries and bardic families.
     
          Finally - we hope - the full blown TimeLine will make its 
     debut. This product will jump several version numbers: if 
     MicroSoft can do that why can't we?  This TimeLine will make full 
     use of Window's OLE capability and will include hundreds of embedded 
     documents which add enormous depth to important line items in the 
     history of religion. Truly a breakthrough product in humanities 
     software and a reference which will last a lifetime!! Watch for it 
     sometime late in 1994.

     CATALOG: REALITY SOFTWARE                    October 30, 1993
     
          Here is a listing of books on disk in the history of 
     religion series currently available from Reality Software.  The 
     price differences between books reflect both their length and the 
     research effort necessary to complete the project.  The least
     expensive contain one or more documents whose length is less than 
     25 pages while the more costly contain one or more reports in excess 
     of 75 pages for the longest documents in the package which are 
     exceptionally deep; such estimates vary with printer and print setup 
     of course.  We offer a money back guarantee: if you do not find a 
     book captivating and interesting, return your disk(s) for a full, no 
     questions asked, refund.
     
          1) Reality Software publishes an exceptional HISTORICAL 
     TIMELINE for the period 12,000 B.C. to 900 A.D. which emphasizes 
     the history of religion. Literally hundreds of line items.  A 
     typical printout would be three pages across and 18 pages deep.     
          
          2) THE WHITE GODDESS IN NEOLITHIC OLD EUROPE is an in-depth
     study of the archeology, artifacts, iconography and ritual of the 
     Goddess religion of Neolithic Europe.  The material is based 
     extensively on the breakthrough work of Marija Gimbutas with 
     several provocative new hypotheses presented which are drawn from 
     realms as diverse as evolutionary biology and the marine zoology 
     of megafuna in the dark abyss of the deep ocean.     
          
          3) A study of the GREAT GODDESS IN CHINA AND JAPAN has been
     finished.  Information is drawn from several sources which include
     the iconography of Chou Dynasty bronzes, Manchu shamanism, a new 
     reading of early Tao texts and Ainu ritual.
     
          4) Our latest publication explores the ORIGINS OF MYTHOLOGY 
     with hunter/gatherers in the Upper Paleolithic and Indians in 
     the Amazon.  Available with a new, state of the art document viewing 
     interface for DOS (BigText).  Have you ever wondered how it all began? 
     
          5) Our book on disk about THE GREAT GODDESS IN INDIA AND TIBET 
     has just been revised.  The new version also incorporates this new, 
     state-of-art document viewing interface for DOS (BigText).  This study
     has exceptional depth, particularly in the discussions of tantra, the 
     sacred horse ritual, the saga of the doomsday Mare, the appearance 
     and then near demise of the goddess in ancient India and Tara - the 
     White and Green Goddess of Tibet.
