Summary: A Rare Opportunity
Review: After having read all of Marion Woodman's books and participating in two workshops at Esalen and one with Robert Bly in San Francisco, it was very exciting for me to be able to read this very intimate personal journal of her own spiritual and psychological process. In her lectures this wonderful woman is so open and honest and present and she is even more so in this book. It took my breath away to travel this moving difficult path with her. If you know Marion and love her this book is a must read. If you don't have any experience with her or Jungian theory I think it will be hard to follow since much of it assumes familiarity with her theories of the conscious feminine. She is a deep thinker with complex feelings. She models for us how to practice what she teaches. The book is also filled with her favorite poems and passages from the writers who inspired her teaching career before she went to Zurich to study Jung. There are also glimpses into her long and fruitful marriage to Ross and even a postscript from him to the reader. I am waiting for her book on the demon lover which she alludes to in this book. I love this book. There is much to savor and learn on many dimensions.

Review: marion woodman is unequaled in her ability to see life, in all it's complicated paradoxes, and articulate her journey through it... i find her latest book to be compelling as she shares her personal story with compassion and rigorous honesty... just knowing that she has walked her own path inspires me to continue to walk mine... if you've ever wondered if someone walks ahead of you then read 'bone' and know she is ....
