A new psychology of women More like a feminist parlor game. To Jungian psychiatrist Bolen, the ancient Greek goddesses are archetypes--\"\"powerful inner patterns\"\" that explain differences among women and direct their lives. \"\"The more complicated the woman,\"\" moreover, \"\"the more likely that many are active within her.\"\" The rest becomes a game of pick-and-choose from among the self-sufficient goddesses (Artemis, Athena, Hestia); the vulnerable goddesses, representing women's needs for attachment and bonding (Hera, Demeter, Persephone); and the alchemical goddess of sensuality and creativity (Aphrodite). Bolen provides helpful descriptions and examples. Thus, Gloria Steinem (who contributed a foreword) exemplifies Artemis, big sister to the lesser nymphs and deities. \"\"There in the public eye is Gloria Steinem, a leader of the women's movement, and there in the mind's eye is a tall, graceful Artemis . . . .\"\" Athena, by contrast, is more male-identified, a goddess associated with war and wisdom. Athenas run the gamut from Mary Cunningham to Phyllis Schlafly to Rosemarie Woods. \"\"When I think of. . . that 18-minute erasure on the Watergate tapes, I wonder if Athena's hand was present.\"\" Women who have wanted to marry and/or have children have been guided, of course, by the vulnerable goddesses--starting with Hera, commitment maker and wife (think Nancy Reagan); then Demeter, nurturer and mother (Mother Teresa, Mary Baker Eddy); and finally Persephone, maiden and mother's daughter (Brooke Shields). In a category apart, neither virginal nor vulnerable, is Aphrodite: muse, lover, creator. With different goddesses competing to be heard, the ego must act as chair, helping the women decide what to do either that day (\"\"Hestia. . . proposes a quiet day at home. . .\"\") or with the rest of her life (\"\"time to go back to school. . . thus heeding Athena\"\"). Occasionally fun--but, if taken seriously, a step way backwards.
Jean Shinoda Bolen s celebrated work of female psychology that uses seven archetypical goddesses to describing behavior patterns and personality traits, as relevant and timeless today as when it was first published thirty years ago.Myths are fascinating stories that become even more intriguing when we realize that they can reveal intimate truths about ourselves and others. Jean Shinoda Bolen brings the Greek pantheon to life as our inner archetypes and applies the power of myth to our personal lives. Once we understand the natural progression from myth to archetype to personal psychology, and realize that positive gifts and negative tendencies are qualities associated with a particular goddess within, we gain powerful insights.Depending on which goddess is more active within, one woman might be more committed to achieving professional success, while another more fulfilled as a wife and mother. From the autonomous Artemis and the cool Athena to the nurturing Demeter and the creative Aphrodite, she teaches women how to decide which to cultivate and which to overcome, and how to tap the power of these enduring archetypes to become a better heroine in their own life story.\" Book Synopsis

\"The highest value of Goddesses in Everywoman lies in the moments of recognition it provides. The author labels them as moments of \"Aha!' that insightful second when we understand and internalize; when we recognize what we ourselves have experienced, feel trust because of that truth, and then are taken one step further to an understanding of 'Yes, that's why.'\" -- Gloria Steinem
\"Goddesses in Older Women offers a brilliant and exhilarating perspective that will revolutionize every woman's thinking about aging and free her to see the face in her mirror in a completely different way.\" -- Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table Wisdom
This podcast came at the perfect time. I became really interested in archetypes after the new Star Wars movie. I found Rey and Kylo so interesting I went down the rabbit hole of archetypes in mythology/philosophy. The thing that stood out to me was how nuanced an approach the Greeks had to human psychology compared to today. I think their is two schools of thought today: The Left = there is no female/male gender patterns, just be whatever you want to be. The Right = Men act like men, women act like women, they get married, all is right in the world. The Left wing ignores gender patterns, while the Right-wing is so black and white and simplistic. The fact that the Greeks had a female god that had some masculine qualities but ultimately wanted to hang out with mostly women, while another goddess was the embodiment of feminine energy but ultimately was at peace being single is such a more nuanced approach to human behavior than what the modern world recognizes today. I know the standards of today have gotten much looser, but over all, it is still the norm for women to get married. I think if a woman, today identifies with a Virgin goddess they in large part have to hide the fact that they feel at peace being in solitude and dont HAVE to have someone beside them. I know an Artemis woman in her 40s that never married and does not have kids that constantly has to explain herself. I think this still happens a lot. Its really cool that the Greeks had three goddesses that are not attached to relationships. Its much more nuanced stories than basically all of Hollywood and Disney, haha.

A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse - and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.
A classic work of female psychology that uses seven archetypcal goddesses as a way of describing behavior patterns and personality traits is being introduced to the next generation of listeners with a new introduction by the author.
Psychoanalyst Jean Bolen's career soared in the early 1980s when Goddesses in Everywoman was published. Thousands of women readers became fascinated with identifying their own inner goddesses and using these archetypes to guide themselves to greater self-esteem, creativity, and happiness.
Dr. Bolen introduced these patterns in the guise of seven archetypal goddesses, or personality types, with whom all women could identify, from the autonomous Artemis and the cool Athena to the nurturing Demeter and the creative Aphrodite, and explains how to decide which to cultivate and which to overcome, and how to tap the power of these enduring archetypes to become a better \"heroine\" in one's own life story.
The wisdom of the Mahavidyas, the 10 wisdom goddesses who represent the interconnected darkness and light within all of us, has been steeped in esoteric and mystical descriptions that made them seem irrelevant to ordinary life. But with this book, written by a respected cardiologist who found herself on a spiritual search for the highest truth, you're invited to explore this ancient knowledge and learn how it can be applied to daily struggles and triumphs-and how it can help you find unreserved self-love and acceptance. 781b155fdc
