Items related to Dancing in the Flames: Dark Goddess in the Transformation...
Dark, earthy and mysterious, the Black Goddess was once a powerful presence throughout the world, manifesting in figures such as the Indian goddess Kali and the Black Madonna of Europe, as well as in Native American teachings. She represents the feminine as powerful, self-reliant, creative and deeply connected with the cycles of nature. However, images of her have been conspicuously absent in the western world for centuries. In parallel, western women have been absent from areas of influence and power in many public positions and institutions, among them the legal profession, the church, the academic world and the political arena. In recent decades, and increasingly in the 1990s, contemporary men and women have begun to rediscover these strong aspects of the feminine. The qualities associated with the Black Goddess are beginning to reappear, directing us to reassess the way we relate to the environment and the way in which we relate to each other and to our inner worlds. Written by leading analyst and international lecturer, Marion Woodman, with psychologist Elinor Dickson, 'Dancing in the Flames' is an outstanding survey of the shift in consciousness that is taking place world-wide in this time of the new millennium.
