Synopsis

This book sets out a series of nine mythical archetypes, each with her own characteristics and symbolism and suggests that this circle of nine is one way of representing the totality and the integrity of the female human psyche. Each of the archetypes is described, showing both its mythical dimensions and the ways in which it may appear in everyday life. The book is seen as a journey and is designed to offer a new and different view of women's responses, talents and pathways to spiritual understanding. The reader is encouraged to visit each of the nine points of the circle and to question and investigate en route, and so encourage growth and creativity. The book is directed at lay readers and counsellors. Cherry Gilchrist writes and lectures on alchemy, astrology and social history and is also the author of "Divination". "Compass of Mind" books explore man's search to extend knowledge of himself and of his world through different spiritual, symbolic and therapeutic systems, looking at the different ways in which knowledge is discovered and formulated.
