Also a must read for Men.
Two key books all men should read (that are not part of their faith), this book and Iron John by Robert Bly. It give positive models of being a man that is compassionate and effective in the world. Thanks Robert Moore for writing it. This is for a mature man that has the courage to look at himself and life.

Amazing material
This is the first audio I've heard from Caroline Myss. Her style is direct and no-nonsense and the content is enlightening. If you are looking for another tool through which to learn more about yourself, this cd set is a perfect introduction to contracts and archetypes.

Crone for my cronies
This book is The Birthday Gift for my girlfriends, sisters, cousins and co-workers as we turn 50. Many shudder at the word "crone" but I am proud to be entering the ranks of the wise women and continuing to make efforts to connect with women of all ages to learn and to teach. This book is great encouragement! Be Juicy!

An easy-to-read yet rigorous entry point into self analysis
As a software developer and mathematician presently in my early 60's, ever since I can remember I have always been long on technology and short on "people" knowledge Yet from my early adolescence I remember my dad telling me how important it is to know oneself. While I always agreed with this good advice, whenever I explored my soul, I seemed to fail to come up with meaningful, ...

A Revealing Treatment of the Psyche/Eros Myth
"It is very easy to relegate mythology to a far away place long ago and thus isolate it from the mainstream of here-and-now life." So says Robert A. Johnson in the final chapter of SHE. This short, easy to read book, like Psyche's lamp, sheds light on the inner life of women, as well as the feminine within the male psyche. I've been aware of the Myth of Psyche for many years and have read several ...

The Grail serves God in Johnson's interpretation.
This small book actually began with 10 lectures given by Robert Johnson at an Episcopal Church. Thus they are concise and do not offer a broad array of examples. I found the book to be excellent and found it much more to the point that Emma Jung's long study of the Holy Grail myth in all it permutations. Of course, as a Jungian, Johnson sees mythology as reflecting underlying psychological and ...

The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious (Collected Works of C.G. Jung Vol.9 Part 1)
9 reviews
C. G. Jung

An Essential Work by Jung.
This work, along with _Modern Man in Search of a Soul_, is one of the best places to start if you are new to reading Jung. It is also the companion piece and predecessor to _Aion_, which is another spectacular and groundbreaking work. If you want to read _Aion_, it would make sense for you to read this one first, since it is part 1 of volume nine, while _Aion_ is part two. Overall, I would say ...

Sacred Geometry - the Primer
First I bought two copies. Sent one to my 90 year old mother who read it cover to cover. Then gave away the other as an emergency gift. Then bought two more. Now I have to buy more because I read my own copy and have three people to whom I would like to give the remaining copy. Let's see, that is 2 + 2 = 4 + 2 or 3 = 6 or 7. Now I know what those numbers "are". This book is precious. It ...

I tried for an hour to desrcibe Dr. Soccio as both a professor and an author but I can't capture the experience in words---see for yourself!
A Child's Garden: 60 Ideas to Make Any Garden Come Alive for Children (Archetype Press Books)

Enchantingly possible!
Every page of this book has full color photos from some of the most incredible gardens for children I have ever seen, from the large elaborate planned spaces of botanical gardens, to small modest spaces that will fit any space or budget. While this is not a heavy-duty "how to" book, it is a book of ideas--and we all know that ideas lead to other ideas! The cover of this book alone is inspiring! ...
The Four-Fold Way: Walking the Paths of the Warrior, Teacher, Healer, and Visionary

Take time with this book. This aint no all-nighter.
The exploration of archetypes and symbols within one's life is a powerful tool for self understanding, healing and growth. And so, this is a significant book in my life at least. This book took a while to be effective in my case. It has become well-worn from being opened to certain pages over and over again. It is marked, folded, penned and penciled in many spots. I had to go through just ...
Way of the Horse: Equine Archetypes for Self-Discovery - A Book of Exploration and 40 Cards

Versatile deck for divination or personal growth
I've been using tarot and other non-tarot card decks for over 20 years, both to answer burning questions and to learn more about myself. This deck, beautifully illustrated, succeeds marvelously at both! The only complaints that I might have about this product, are: 1) that the cards are a bit thin and I'm not sure how well they will hold up to being handled and shuffled over years-worth of ...

Stories to revive the Wild Woman inside
The Wild Woman's archetype manifestation is an endangered aspect in our psyche. The chauvinistic/psychopathic societies we live in, are designed to strangle this feminine aspect as to deprive women from their instinctual nature to resist, to fight back and to overcome. Women are to be kept subservient. But despite the predators from outside, a woman's worst predator is that of her inner ...

Dry but valuable
Alright, I'll be the first to admit it; this book is not an easy read. In fact, I'd call it a slog (and I'm a readaholic who can't put down the back of a cereal box!). But, the concepts presented are worth the work. The authors explain what's so darn compelling about Apple's logo, what type of client you want to speak to, and what they need you to say to make a connection with them. Plus much, ...

A fascinating insight into the Bible's message
This is the best interpretation of the Scriptures according to Jungian psychoanalysis. It is recommended to everybody who has doubts in the dogmaic Chrisitan way to read the Bible and it is a source for individual wholeness for those who try to find it in the Scriptures.
Goddesses in Older Women: Archetypes in Women Over Fifty

Calling all women!
In a culture that worships youthful beauty, this book reminds us all that our esoteric standards are stifled, immature and limited. The wonderful Bolen leads women (and real men) on a revealing and empowering exploration of the many rich, strong, wise, diverse and beautiful identities that both shape and define the gifts of "older" women. I have shared this book with my daughters, my friends ...

Gives a way out...
This book really helped me to embrace the different stages in life and showed me how to grow into who I want to be. It not only restored my faith in "This to shall pass", but showed me how and why. It helped me to accept the lessons I needed to know then and now. It is a book I give to friends when they hit the wall. There is nothing better I can do for them.

GREAT FOR DIVIANTION-GOES WELL WITH HER SACRED CONTRACTS BOOK
I bought these cards here on Amazon along with the Sacred Contracts CD and the book Sacred Contracts. All are very helpful in my overall growth in BODY-MIND-SPIRIT-SOUL. The Archetype cards by Dr. Myss and these are very helpful and a great tool for divination and soul growth.

Thoughtful and engaging. It gives pause for reflection.

Hillman's major works, including "Insearch: Psychology and Religion," "Suicide and the Soul," "Healing Fiction," and others, including journal and magazine articles in such diverse publications as "Spring," "Utne Reader," "Institute Newsletter," and "Loose Ends: Primary Papers in Archetypal Psychology." This should not scare you away. ...
