Full title: Woman's Mysteries, Ancient and Modern: A Psychological Interpretation of the Feminine Principle as Portrayed in Myth, Story and Dreams
This is a classic study of the feminine principle in myths, dreams, and religious symbolism. In presenting the archetypal foundations of feminine psychology, the author shows how the ancient religious initiations of the moon goddess symbolized the development of the emotions. Understanding the psychological meaning of these initiations, she believes, can help to heal the troubled relations between men and women today. The author, a Jungian psychologist, shows how women have been portrayed in myth and been given a special role in ancient and modern rituals. She explains how by understanding these traditions modern woman can become psychologically freer and more creative.
