Goddess Murder: A Tale of Love, Witches, and Gnostics

by Aiden A. Kelly

Eddie Edwards, a professor at the Graduate Ecumenical Seminary of the West in Santa Theresa, receives three unknown gospels smuggled out of the Vatican Library by a colleague who has been murdered. The documents include The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, which proclaims that Jesus originally taught the sacredness of sexuality; the Gospel of Simon and Helen, which is thoroughly Gnostic and antinomian; and the Gospel of Diana, a gospel for Witches! Harassed by burglaries and pursued by unidentified assassins attempting to retrieve the gospels, he falls in love with a hereditary Witch, Andrea Peregrino. As they escape their pursuers and as their romance deepens, Andrea begins to educate Eddie in the ways of Witches, gradually revealing to him her extraordinary talents, her knowledge of how the human mind actually works, and how the hereditary Witches preserved teachings lost since almost the beginning of the Christian movement, including those about the Goddess.
