Book excerpt: Women face a host of challenges as we age, from social disrespect, to physical changes, to the hard work of psychological adjustment.We explore in depth three major archetypes - the Hero on her Journey, the Wise Woman and the Goddess - from their roots to their relevance today in conscious ageing. What are archetypes, and why is there a universal myth of the Hero? Why did the menopause evolve, and how did that lead to the post-menopausal Wise Woman of early societies? What does the evidence show about worship of the Great Goddess in the past, and how could such powerful archetypes become hidden from us? How can we reclaim the myths of the Goddess today? Through these archetypes we can explore how much the "Crone" stage of life has to offer, and find the strength, power and courage to embrace all it brings, even our own mortality. This book aims to be a companion for your journey, with a range of ideas, images and exercises and help for the hard times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At some point after fifty, every woman crosses a threshold into the third phase of her life. As she enters this uncharted territory -- one that is generally uncelebrated in popular culture -- she can choose to mourn what has gone before, or she can embrace the juicy-crone years. In this celebration of Act Three, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Jungian analyst and bestselling author of Goddesses in Everywoman, names the powerful new energies and potentials -- or archetypes -- that come into the psyche at this momentous time, suggesting that women getting older have profound and exciting reasons for welcoming the other side of fifty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Women, Stereotypes and Archetypes, by Manisha Roy, explores the complexity of modern woman’s identity which is no longer supported by convenient but limiting stereotypes. The book tries to answer following questions : -How do the women handle the confusion arising from such a loss? -If stereotypes are rejected can understanding of the meaning and function of the archetypes in human psyche offer the majority of women guidelines to a secure identity? -Is an American woman's problem of identity different from that of a woman of another culture? -And finally, where does all this change and crisis lead? Examples from the author’s analytical practice of 40 years and life-long anthropological research and teaching are used to support her observations and conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depth psychotherapist Sandra Rogers articulates what many women intuitively know-that the archetypal configuration of Maiden, Mother, and Crone is missing something. She offers us the archetype of the Queen, a stage in midlife between the Mother and the Crone. Through rich examples of real-life women, Sandra brings the Queen to life, and then, shows us how to fully embody her energies through the chakra system, including suggestions for journaling, meditation, visualization, and instructions for conducting a set-coronation ritual. "This book could not be more relevant or timely! Sandra Rogers has written a book that embodies the last 60 years of women's efforts to achieve both deeper psychological realization and broader efficacy in the world. Sandra's book, Inviting the Queen, is written for women (and for men who love women) who are searching for a practical guidebook to wholeness: she asks you to welcome the Queen, a symbol of inner empowerment, into your life via simple exercises, engaging stories, and an important new way of understanding the chakras. This book is a 'crowning' achievement!" Patricia Ariadne, Ph.D., LMFT, Associate Professor of Psychology and Licensed Psychotherapist

Book excerpt: Discover the diverse ways aging women attempt to deal with the universal challenges of loss, sickness, and death along with the problems of being old women in a society that values women mainly as sexual partners or producers of children. Old women are often seen as poor, powerless, and pitiful in our sexist and youth-oriented society. The truth is that women age much more successfully than do men and they are increasingly in the majority as our population ages. These truths and others are presented in Faces of Women and Aging--a collection written by women, a number of whom are themselves older women who bring their unique life experiences and personalities to the topic. This uplifting book emphasizes that middle and old age are merely stages of growth and development, not just seasons of loss and decline as the end approaches. A wealth of topics are covered in Faces of Women and Aging that broaden the reader’s awareness of the problems of women and aging including: how to maintain self-esteem in the face of sexism, ageism, and severe illness the problems of being single or divorced in the later years the problems of maintaining a good body image for older women in a society which values the young and the beautiful the additional difficulties of minority women, specifically lesbians and native American women increased dependency brought on by illness and loss of partners Faces of Women and Aging combines personal narratives that serve as reminders of the human beings behind statistics and case studies with theoretical observations which help therapists assist older women cope with the daily hardships as well as the more catastrophic problems of aging.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Eve was banned from the garden, women have endured the oftentimes painful and inaccurate definitions foisted upon them by the patriarchy. Maiden, mother, and crone, representing the three stages assigned to a woman’s life cycle, have been the limiting categories of both ancient and modern (neo-pagan) mythology. And one label in particular rankles: crone. The word conjures a wizened hag—useless for the most part, marginalized by appearance and ability. None of us has ever truly fit the old-crone image, and for today’s midlife women, a new archetype is being birthed: the creatrix. In Creatrix Rising, Stephanie Raffelock lays out—through personal stories and essays—the highlights of the past fifty years, in which women have gone from a quiet strength to a resounding voice. She invites us along on her own transformational journey by providing probing questions for reflection so that we can flesh out and bring to life this new archetype within ourselves. If what the Dalai Lama has predicted—that women will save the world—proves true, then the creatrix will for certain be out front, leading the pack.
