Overview: Journey to the Dark Goddess will lead you on a powerful, healing path. In the stories of ancient Goddesses you will hear your own soul, calling out to you. The Dark Goddess is the creatrix of healing, change and renewal. She offers connection with the core of yourself.

If you have been unable to shake off depression, or fear its return; if you have inexplicable blank patches in your life, if you know that something is missing, or something is calling to you, if you seek the source of women’s power - it’s time to journey to the Dark Goddess.

Verdict: For, and given the aforementioned, this journey to the Dark Goddess exists in ancient myth. Weaving the stories of Inanna, Persephone and Psyche with self-inquiry and sacred ritual we learn to journey internally, creating maps in our darkest places and return enriched, integrating our deepest understandings. Meeting the Dark Goddess we see a mirror of our own soul.

Here in Journey to the Dark Goddess: How to Return to Your Soul by author Jane Meredith, we are lovingly taken by the hand and walked down a glorious path to the Underworld to confront and heal one’s inner darkness. Actually something not as foreboding as the sentence suggests, it focuses on the goddesses that exemplify the archetype of the Dark Goddess.

A little more prose reveals that the Dark Goddess is often associated with the Underworld where she leads the uninitiated through a transformative journey of self-discovery, change and soul renewal. She is connected with the unwanted, the forgotten, the ignored or even ashamed parts of our psyche.

However there is more to her than that. Encountering the Dark Goddess through Journey To The Dark Goddess enables author Jane Meredith to lovingly guide you through what this challenging facet of the Divine Feminine, the Dark Goddess, is truly about, and encourages you to step through the veils into her hidden realm.

Furthermore, she does the Shadow Self justice by not condemning or neglecting it, but rather viewing it as a divine aspect of the self and finding the gifts of healing and integration through confronting and working with it.

Thus she draws on myths of these Dark Goddesses and their journey into the Underworld - again, such as Inanna, Psyche and Persephone – which allows her to not only illustrate the gifts that come with exploring one’s own darkness; and with total, unskewed, uninhibited honesty, but allows the hope for a personal transformation and liberation to occur within each and every reader thereafter.

In closing, and full of fantastic exercises and wisdom, the book bravely tackles some very difficult subjects such as depression, fear, existential crises, and trauma. Best of all, the book is full of anecdotes from the author sharing her own journeys to the underworld and her own journey of healing.
