Summary
Marion Woodman: The Pregnant Virgin
This book is about the struggle for awareness. She explores the process of fundamental transformation that can be compared to the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a cocoon and then into a butterfly, and describes in detail the period spent in the cocoon: life as we knew it was left behind, forever over. We were left all alone. We are no longer what we were, and we still don't know what we will become. It is in such times, times of isolation and darkness, if we know how to think with our hearts, that we will find our inner virgin: the one who is whole in herself and completely free. It, our unique, unrepeatable truth, will open us to the possibilities of a new life. Relying on her analytical practice and the study of dreams, poetic performances, myths and rituals of initiation, Marion Woomdan presents to us the means by which we can overcome various forms of addiction: anorexia, bulimia, alcoholism, perfectionism, etc. She interprets the journey of those - men as well as women - who went in search of their freedom and their personal identity.
