Summary |
"Women who have turned to a nonconventional spirituality have struggled with the confining concept of the triple goddess. Maiden, mother, and crone â where does a woman in her forties fit in? Perhaps no longer raising children, she is not yet ready to be a âÂÂwise old woman.â Now, the authors of this revolutionary exploration offer a new archetype for the middle-aged woman: Matriarch. She is the Queen of the Harvest â reaping the rewards of sustained work and effort, at the height of her sexual and professional power. But she is just one figure in The WomenâÂÂs Wheel of Life, which offers twelve other positive, empowering archetypes for every stage of female existence â Daughter and Blood Sister to Dark Mother. The authors developed the Wheel as a synthesis of their work in womenâÂÂs health, spirituality, and psychology. Their book draws on more than a hundred interviews with women who have found the Wheel to be a revolutionary path to more powerful living." -- BOOK JACKET |
