Mysteries of the Dark Moon: The Healing Power of the Dark Goddess

Written by Demetra George

Narrated by Sierra Kline

Exploring the mystery, wisdom, and power of the dark phase of the moon's cycle-a lunar-based model for moving through the dark times in our lives with understanding, consciousness, and faith in renewal.

The moon's dark phase has traditionally been a time of fear and superstition, a time associated with death and isolation. The mythical embodiment of these fears is the Dark Goddess. Known around the world by many names-Lilith, Kali, Hecate, and Morgana-the archetypal Dark Goddess represents death, sexuality, and the unconscious-the little understood, often feared aspects of life.

Demetra George combines psychological, mythical, and spiritual perspective on the shadowy, feminine symbolism of the dark moon to reclaim the darkness from oppressive, fear-based images. George offers rites for rebirth and transformation that teach us to tap into the power of our dark times, maximizing the potential for renewal inherent in our inevitable periods of loss, depression, and anger.

Reviews for Mysteries of the Dark Moon

[Kylah Brent · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book had the potential to be uniquely transformative and supremely healing. It’s summarized and he repeats so much that has been solely percolating up from our collective cultural genetic memories I was in enraptured as the spoke of symbols and a process I’d found my creative endeavors mirroring. When she called on Oya and Aset (Isis) as names, manifestations, of the Crone Goddess I felt so much hope... though it was not to last.
What began as gentle confusion became anxious anticipation of common historic myopia. When she gives more time to unsupported fringe ideas of Homo sapien diversification— that support a largely frowned upon Eurocentrist idealogy— than that of African Mitochondrial Eve and her daughters...when she only mentions Paleolithic creations in the Eurasian continent...I took solace in her getting the message this far.
Ms. George from her own prejudice and pride perpetrates a monstrous deception that her cultural ancestors have driven for centuries. The denial, erasure and deception about the people’s of the African continent, the San to the Axumites and Nubians, the people of Kemet, the Dogon, the Amazigh the Ife, these ancient and enlightened peoples who carried these spiritual truths for millennia, unbroken until their matricidal descendants eked an advantage and annihilated that first and last cord to the Goddess, gun powder, colonization and genocide.

If you don’t acknowledge the spiritual significance of Black skinned peoples after noting the direct symbolism of the connection to the much maligned and denigrated Divine Crone, that is a deliberate lie of omission. Why was she compelled to do so?

This is one of my favorite books in spirituality and the craft. It opened up a whole new vantage point for me. I consider it foundational and have read it a few times now . I also love the narrator. She is gold.

The book has answers I was looking for so many years. I found myself is most of the Moon’s related deities and I am embracing my shadows with a renewed mind set , being so thankful for what I unveiled about myself and our collective consciousness.
I recommend this source of knowledge for anyone who is ready / consciously or not to learn more about herself/himself
Happy reading or listening ?

What a gift! George grounds archetypal psychology, cosmic patterns, and Mediterranean myth in a consistent and focused recovery of all that has been cast out because it is dark and feminine. This book shines a beacon in the dark for any who feel the pangs of loss of self and soul as a result of our binary and constricting patriarchal gender ideologies.
