Sekhmet: escaping from feelings. Hecate: accepting dissolution and change. The triple goddess: working with the shadow. Conclusion
Abstract: '...primarily a book about working with the shadow. Although we have used the Jungian concept of the shadow, this book does not represent Jungian thinking nor do we use other Jungian concepts. Each culture has its "dark" Goddess. The term "dark" does not refer to anything negative but rather implies that which exists before the light; the dark moon phase precedes the new moon. Dark refers to the subconscious as opposed to the conscious, the underworld rather than the world above.' --Foreword
