By Jeri Castronova. Fans of Joseph Campbell
and Jean Shinoda Bolen will welcome this book, as will students of
Jungian thought. Dr. Castronova presents a spiritual and personal
growth work based on radical new ways of understanding feminist
mythology. Her original thoughts bring a sophisticated approach to
spiritual seekers. -- Writer's Digest
Paint
the Sky and Dance tells stories, each taking the reader into a new
territory, moving through wonderment and on to understanding of old
myths, beliefs and attitudes.
The book shows women how to take
the lead in balancing the gender inequality so prevalent in the world.
One way is to write new personal mythology based on individual
experience and future goals. Then new global myths can be written,
based on historical evidence of goddess-based religions, recently
unearthed writings based on Mary Magdalene's gospel and contributions
to the early church, and new heroic myths for women.
The book
and companion Workbook are powerful self-help holistic guides used by
individuals, clinicians, and women's study groups.
Paint the
Sky and Dance provides a rich melange of historical myths, legends,
facts and fantasies in constructing the foundation for very practical
procedures for taking control of one's life.
Softcover; 208 pages.
