The Dark Goddess: Dancing With the Shadow
Grounded in Jungian theory of the personal and the collective unconscious, this book reveals how the dark goddesses, or the shadow archetypes, in women's unconscious may be transformed for personal growth. Starck ( The Complete Handbook of Natural Healing , Llewllyn, 1991) and Stern, a teacher and counselor, present eight goddesses (Lilith, Inanna, Pele, Medusa, Kali, Sekhmet, Hecate, and the Triple Goddess) who provide material for getting in touch with and using the repressed part of ourselves for good. Ritual and discussion suggest how to release shadow energy for transformation on the heroine's journey. Recommended for public libraries with New Age and feminist collections.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
