Description

The Dark Goddess has long been a powerful force in world history, manifesting in diverse images such as the Indian goddess Kali and the Black Madonnas of medieval Europe. She embodies the energy of chaos and creativity, creation and destruction, death and rebirth. For centuries, her presence has been largely absent from the Western world, but this is changing as awareness of the Goddess is re-emerging in various fields. Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickson argue that the reemergence of the Divine Feminine in our time indicates our readiness to move to a new level of consciousness. The reemerging Goddess calls for a willingness to hold opposing forces together, embracing the chaos that can lead to wisdom and transformation on personal and global levels. This bold and thrilling perspective challenges rigid categories and invites us to marry reason and order with creativity. The reemergence of the Goddess is a significant development, one that has the potential to transform our understanding of the world and our place within it. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the Dark Goddess and her role in our collective evolution.
