Fertility Goddesses, Groundhog Bellie & the Coca-Cola Company Gabriella Kalapos Insomnia Press ISBN: 1-897178-14-X Non-Fiction, Mythology Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Why is Groundhog Day a highly underrated holiday illustrating a very important message? Why is it fitting that many people get depressed on New Years Day? Why was Labour Day moved to September? Does Mother’s Day actually have origins in Goddess worship?

These questions and others will be answered in Fertility Goddessess, Groundhog Bellie & the Coca-Cola Company.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many cultures seem to share similarities in seemingly very different holiday traditions, then this is definitely the book for you. I found the connections between various modern traditions and very ancient festivals and celebrations extremely fascinating. Many of these beliefs are so deeply ingrained and hidden in our psyches that I hadn’t even thought of them as rituals. One good example is the experience of football games on New Year’s Day and their association with mock battles celebrating the New Year in the very distant past.
