German translation of HIDDEN WOMEN: A History of Europe, Celts and Freedom

"The maidens, attended by the knights, advanced and greeted each other courteously; then they sat down on the clover, and many that had been strangers became acquainted.  They bade pour out wine for the women; and seeing it was already noon, they rested there no longer, but rode till they came to broad pavilions, where they were well served.  They stayed there the night through, till the early morning."

           From the Nibelungenlied, describing 3rd or 4th century happenings as written down some 8 centuries later.

Pavilions?  These are in Karlovy Vary.

    

Iconoclasm Needed

Caesar’s no hero; God is not good

“Civilized” doesn’t mean free

Examined close-up, the truth comes through 

The root of the fallacy

This world of ours needs fixing

Justice does not prevail

Until male despots no longer rule

Democracy’s doomed to fail 

Announcing the publication of 
HIDDEN WOMEN: Celtic Burgundy & Europe

This second book of the HIDDEN WOMEN series focuses on women and one of the main Celtic families from the Iron Age.  The Burgundians’ major role in defeating Roman invaders and their preservation of secular art and ideas are only two of their immense contributions to civilization.  With the Franks, they combined to lead Celtic Europe during the Merovingian and Carolingian eras.  

The Burgundy name still relates back to wine production and trade in the Rhineland.  Weaving together archaeological evidence and current associations allows an astonishing look at this distinguished Celtic European family.

A Literary Salon in Paris

“In our era when the voice of women is challenged across all

Continents, the Celtic world, where women led major roles in politics, 

trade science, agriculture, culture, religion, art and participated actively 

in the life of cities, bears great significance.

In her book Hidden Women, Jacqueline Widmar Stewart 

offers archaeological evidence, photos of sites and extracts of ancient

texts (even though biased as written by victors ) to help us 

gain insight into the lives of women in pre-Roman Celtic Europe – 

Burgundians, Franks, Galls, Basques, Veneti, Parisii. . .

To impose a new order, the Roman empire destroyed Celtic culture, 

burnt scriptures, works of arts, towns and monuments and more 

significantly, established segregation between sexes, weakened families, 

and subjugated women.  From being equal partners of men, with the 

advent of Christianity, women came to be regarded as evil, temptresses,

witches, usurpers of masculine power, creatures to be tamed and 

relegated to only certain functions.”

Paean to Ancestral Women

All hail to you, mothers of eld

Hail to your sons and your daughters.

All of them breathe because of you

They owe their strength to your power.

You are the ones who protected their world

You built the Europe of yore 

Though conquerors claimed it 

and many defamed it 

Your wisdom and leadership soared.

You have borne the families here now

You fled with forbearers and hid them

You fought to the end, defended the fort

All while you nourished and led them.

Too long you’ve stayed buried down deep

Away from the knowing eye,

Kept from your place up here in the sun

Where lineage live now and thrive.

Now is your time, o prescient ones;

Now is the time to acknowledge.

Let history herald you and your kin

All hail to you and your knowledge.
