Book Description
Dark, earthy, and immensely powerful, the Black Goddess has been a key force in world history, manifesting in images as diverse as the Indian goddess Kali and the Black Madonnas of medieval Europe. She embodies the energy of chaos and creativity, creation and destruction, death and rebirth. Images of Her, however, have been conspicuously missing in the Western world for centuries—until now, when awareness of the Goddess is re-arising 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 particularly? The answer provided by Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickson is bold and thrilling: the reemergence of the Divine Feminine in our time indicates our readiness to move to an entirely new level of consciousness. The reemerging Goddess calls for a shattering of rigid categories, a willingness to hold opposition. She calls us to marry reason and order to creativity, and to embrace the chaos that can ultimately lead to wisdom and transformation on personal and global levels.

Book Description
Dark, earthy and mysterious, the Black Goddess was once a powerful presence throughout the world, manifesting in figures such as the Indian goddess Kali and the Black Madonna of Europe, as well as in Native American teachings. She represents the feminine as powerful, self-reliant, creative and deeply connected with the cycles of nature. However, images of her have been conspicuously absent in the western world for centuries. In parallel, western women have been absent from areas of influence and power in many public positions and institutions, among them the legal profession, the church, the academic world and the political arena. In recent decades, and increasingly in the 1990s, contemporary men and women have begun to rediscover these strong aspects of the feminine. The qualities associated with the Black Goddess are beginning to reappear, directing is to reassess the way we relate to the environment and the way in which we relate to each other and to our inner worlds. Written by leading analyst and international lecturer, Marion Woodman, with psychologist Elinor Dickson, 'Dancing in the Flames' is an outstanding survey of the shift in consciousness that is taking place world-wid

Book Description
“An astonishingly beautiful book. The best gay novel written by anyone of our generation.”—Harper’s “Through the sweat and haze of longing come piercing insights – about the closeness of gay male friendship, about the vanity and imperfections of men. The more one reads the novel, we realise that what Holleran has given us is our very own queer (queerer?) Great Gatsby: its decadence, its fear, its violence, its ecstasy, its transience.”—The Guardian Andrew Holleran’s landmark novel of a young man's search for love and companionship in New York’s emerging gay world in the 1970s, with a new introduction by Garth Greenwell. Young, astonishingly beautiful, and tired of living a lie, Anthony Malone trades life as a seemingly straight small-town lawyer for the decadence of New York’s emerging gay scene—an odyssey that takes him from Manhattan’s Everard baths and after hour discos, to lavish orgies on Fire Island and parks after dark. Rescuing Malone from a possessive lover and shepherding him through his immersion in this life of fierce joys and cheap truths is the flamboyant Sutherland, a high-camp quintessential queen. But for Malone, the endless city nights and Fire Island days are close to burning out, and despite Sutherland’s abundant attentiveness and glittering world-weary wisdom, Malone soon realizes what he is truly looking for may not be found in these beautiful places, where life is crowded, and people are forever outrunning their own desires and death.
