Woman's Mysteries: Ancient and Modern
by M. Esther Harding
On This Page
Description
"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."Tags

Quite good. If I have a complaint it would be that it could have been better annotated. More explicit references and a bibliography would have been very helpful for further study.
An oldie, but a goody. I'm glad I read this work before tackling "The Chalice and the Blade"> It was a good primer and I appreciated "Chalice" all the more!
