Women, Ageing and Archetypes. Ideas, Images and Support on the Post-Menopausal Journey
No Customer Reviews
Women face a host of challenges as we age, from social disrespect, to physical changes, to the hard work of psychological adjustment.We explore in depth three major archetypes - the Hero on her Journey, the Wise Woman and the Goddess - from their roots to their relevance today in conscious ageing. What are archetypes, and why is there a universal myth of the Hero? Why did the menopause evolve, and how did that lead to the post-menopausal Wise Woman of early societies? What does the evidence show about worship of the Great Goddess in the past, and how could such powerful archetypes become hidden from us? How can we reclaim the myths of the Goddess today? Through these archetypes we can explore how much the "Crone" stage of life has to offer, and find the strength, power and courage to embrace all it brings, even our own mortality. This book aims to be a companion for your journey, with a range of ideas, images and exercises and help for the hard times.
