Woman's Mysteries Ancient & Modern

Here 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.

M. Esther Harding, M.D., was a leading Jungian analyst for many years and a founder of the Analytical Psychology Club of New York. She is also the author of Women's Mysteries: Ancient and Modern; Psychic Energy: Its Sources and Its Transformation; and I & the "Not-I": A Study of the Development of Consciousness.
