Cauldron of the Feminine: A Journey Through Dreams

In Cauldron of the Feminine, a profound exploration through dreams of the shift away from a patriarchal religion to freedom, Pearl leaves the sky gods and travels unwittingly to the underworld. Gregor asks tantalizing questions about women's initiation, descent to the substrate of our consciousness, and healing by embracing the Sacred Feminine archetype. Her story is told through dreams soaked in the imagery of the goddess Inanna, Queen of Heaven and her dark sister Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld. "What boundaries are self-imposed and where are we complicit in retaining the comfort of too-closed, too-familiar boundaries imposed by the patriarchal culture in which we live? Born of sinew and blood and seeds, this book of becoming—through madness and sanity—through the feminine and patriarchy, provides a gentle and powerful companion to those willing to courageously enter their own authentic journey to selfhood." — Dr. Ara Parker, Registered Art Therapist and Psychotherapist "Dreams Along the Way: A Trilogy of Memoir is a necessary voice in the dialogue of Western culture's patriarchy in institutions, organized religion, family dynamics and role expectations." — Leanne Stam Engbers, teacher and writer www.dreamsalongtheway.com
