MARION WOODMAN
The Dark Goddess in the
Transformation.of
Consciousness
"This powerful book about the Dark Goddess is a rich and intimate
exploration that brings together history, mythology, psychology, and
religion. The authors have written a seed text that is wise, vigorous,
and revelatory."
-JOAN HALIFAX, author of The
Fruitful Darkness
"Dancing in the Flames
gives us a remarkably rich and deep knowl-
edge of the Dark Goddess. Her hidden presence in the psyches of
men and women becomes visible through Marion Woodman and
Elinor Dickson's perceptive insights. Seen and unseen, appreciated
or denigrated, in history, myth, and culture as well as in individuals,
the Dark Goddess carries transformative power and feminine wis-
dom, which are revealed in this beautifully conceived book that can
affect the reader like a major dream or evocative poem."
-JEAN SHINODA BOLEN,M.D., author of
Crossing to Avalon
and
Goddesses
in
Everywoman
" The final task of soul-making is to enter the realms of the Dark
Goddess-in order to bring the secret of beauty to the world. How did
patriarchy imagine that we could survive as individuals or as species
self-exiled from Her, the source of life and death? Marion Woodman
and Elinor Dickson guide us most skillfully and insightfully along
the path of a renewed wisdom tradition."
