Dark, earthy, and incredibly powerful, the Black Goddess has been a key force in world history, manifesting in such diverse forms as the Hindu goddess Kali and the Black Madonnas of medieval Europe. She embodies the energy of chaos and creativity, creation and destruction, death and rebirth. Yet her images have been conspicuously absent from the Western world for centuries—until now, when awareness of the Goddess is re-emerging in many spheres, from the women's movement to traditional religion, from the new discoveries of quantum physics to the dreams of ordinary men and women. Why now? The answer, provided by Marion Woodman and Eleanor Dixon, is bold and exciting: the resurgence of the Divine Feminine in our time indicates our readiness to shift to an entirely new level of consciousness. The resurgent Goddess calls for the destruction of rigid categories, a willingness to confront. She calls us to combine reason and order with creativity and to embrace chaos, which can ultimately lead to wisdom and transformation on a personal and global level.
