Review: Goddess Obscured: Transformation of the Grain Protectress from Goddess to Saint

User Review  - Bart Everson - Goodreads

If you have ever wondered about how ancient goddesses like Brigid became syncretized with Christian figures like St. Brigid, I highly recommend this book. It's clear, concise for an academic tome, well-researched, authoritative and absolutely fascinating. Read full review
