Product Description

Synopsis

A Goddess version of the Jungian concept of the shadow self which examines how we can learn to understand ourselves more fully and weather the bad times by understanding the symbolism of the "dark" Goddesses in ancient lore. The book aims to maximize the potentiality for meaning, healing and creativity that naturally reside in the dark phase. Demetra George explores the ways that modern culture has denied the dark and thus has remained unaware of the potential for healing and renewal that exist in the dark phase of the cyclic process. By the author of "Asteroid Goddesses" and "Astrology for Yourself".

5.0 out of 5 stars I can almost recite this book from memory 7 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Once in a while, you come across a truly transformational book--for me, it was this book. George postulates an intriguing theory (that I won't spoil by discussing) about the rise of patriarchy and the present return of the Goddess into current consciousness. She explores the meaning of the "dark times" in every woman's life, when the past is dying and the future not yet emerged, that we confront in things as simple as a birthday anniversary. Her section about the significance of various Dark Goddess aspects --particularly her comprehensive study about the much-misunderstood Goddess Hekate--is worth the price of the book alone. Her third section deals with the mysteries that every mother and daughter are called on to face in one form or another, as symbolized by the Demeter-Persephone story. The central message of the book, that the Dark Moon times of any woman's life are a treasure-trove of untapped inner wealth and spiritual growth, is clearly and compellingly argued. An immensely rewarding and thought-provoking book that I treasure and re-read on a regular basis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revealing the Mystery 17 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Demetra George has done it for me in this book.I couldn't put it down.I was absolutely intrigued with her theory on why the godess disappeared,and what impact it had on our lives and the changes we needed to face.She talks about the skills we needed to develop ,in order to cope without her presence in our lives.After each chapter she gives the reader challenging questions to consider and I felt myself reconsider the myth I was holding about patriarchy and the essence of what it was meant to be.A great book for your women and men friends for christmas,who always have had in interest in the moon,astrology,anthropology,history and godesses.

4.0 out of 5 stars one of the best books I ever read. 10 April 2009
By Lucy Lynam
Format:Paperback
This book was recommended to me and I must say it has given me new insights to a whole way of thinking. The way we fear death and change makes sense when you read this book. The author has researched the subject well. The infulence of the ''Dark goddess'' has been long ignored. As a result we see death as the end and not just a step on the way to rebirth. Reading this book helps you to see that death is not final. The old must give way before the knew is reborn. The book also gives hope that even though a woman is not ''young'' and everything is still defying gravity she is still a vital part of society not just a handy baby sitter. This book is a must for women of all ages.It can hepl to make realionships work, it also shows how bad realtionships drain you. It can help in every part of your life.
