Synopsis

Exploring the mystery, wisdom, and power of the dark phase of the moon's cycle—a lunar-based model for moving through the dark times in our lives with understanding, consciousness, and faith in renewal.

The moon's dark phase has traditionally been a time of fear and superstition, a time associated with death and isolation. The mythical embodiment of these fears is the Dark Goddess. Known around the world by many names—Lilith, Kali, Hecate, and Morgana—the archetypal Dark Goddess represents death, sexuality, and the unconscious—the little understood, often feared aspects of life.

Demetra George combines psychological, mythical, and spiritual perspective on the shadowy, feminine symbolism of the dark moon to reclaim the darkness from oppressive, fear-based images. George offers rites for rebirth and transformation that teach us to tap into the power of our dark times, maximizing the potential for renewal inherent in our inevitable periods of loss, depression, and anger.

That said, it's is DENSE with inform......more

4.5 Stars. A fantastic exploration of the most recent long-term feminine/masculine or matriarchy/patriarchy cycle with a particular emphasis and unique perspective on the demise of matriarchy and the rise of patriarchy some 5000 years ago. The books shines light on this topic in a way I have not bee......more

Goodreads review by Denise on January 13, 2021

I wanted to love this book, but I found it difficult to stay focused and read it. I’m not a fan of the author’s writing style. It seemed highly subjective, although presented as solid evidence. The concept and mythology were interesting. The content was often repetitive, and maybe stronger editing w......more
