The Dark Goddess: Dancing With the Shadow

Rating:
Summary: A good introduction to Dark Goddesses
Review: Starck and Stern (isn't that a wonderful pair of names for this topic?)offer an interesting introduction to Dark Goddess mysteries, an element in women's psychology that is often unacceptable in traditional societies and religions. They provide a chapter by chapter summary of the most powerful of these goddesses--Kali, Lilith, Pele, Hecate--and suggest rituals in which to connect with their energies. The book's weak point is the too-frequent interjections of the authors' personal impressions, which gives the book somewhat of a "vanity" feel. But it is overall a very worthwhile reference and workbook for the Dark Goddess mysteries.
