”Before male gods were established by patriarchal warlords,“ writes author and researcher Jason Breshears in the description to this fascinating video, ”cultures of Old Bronze Age venerated the Goddess.“

As author myself of a multi-award-winning work of visionary fiction about the Goddess and matriarchal society, CALI THE DESTROYER, I found Jason’s presentation both highly consistent with my own research and truly eye-opening in parts. Here’s a popular interview I gave not long ago on similar subject matter …

The host of Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio, Miguel Conner, who authored VOICES OF GNOSTICISM, had this to say about my fictional take on the Goddess:

“Like some raconteur alchemist, Luckman comingles ancient mysticism, engaging characters, and social issues to sublimate the alchemical gold that is unique but timeless storytelling. As a dystopia, the work feels like it’s happening right now. As a work of fiction, it feels like the perennial trope of man versus God—except it’s hard to tell who the villain or hero is. A simultaneously disturbing and amazing read, you’ll probably end up finding your own Philosopher’s Stone.“

“A thought-provoking and absorbing dystopian tale with a New Age touch [that] balances the exploration of human relationships with environmental, social, and political issues … CALI THE DESTROYER is an illuminating and deep read, and the result is a must-read tale in tune with contemporary concerns that it dresses up as an Orwellian future.” Readers’ Favorite
