Description
This book deals with those things that many of us do not have to face on a regular basis, including issues such as death, anger, pain, fear, illness-and yes, even sex. It explores these concerns by focusing on the magick and mystery of goddesses such as Kali, Hekate, Sekhmet, and Lilith; and gods such as Set, Loki, Dionysos, and Shiva-deities who have not been given their just due because of their less than desirable sides. The authors guide you through the world of darkness, unleashing the history and myth associated with each archetype. Also, they share field-tested rituals and spellwork that allow you to further work with the shadow side and understand the benefit of the energies you find there. It is important to acknowledge what happens in the darkness and the power it unleashes for what it is-a reaffirmation of life and, yes, the light.
