Mysteries of the Dark Moon: The Healing Power of the Dark Goddess

by Demetra George

Overview

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.
