Dancing in the Flames: The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of Consciousness
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 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.

This book has been nothing short of life changing for me.
Initially hard to get into, I put it down for a while and found, what was for me, an easier introduction to Marion Woodman's work,
"Coming Home to Myself"
That felt so much more accessible... like the puffin book of Marion for initiates : )
After "Coming Home to Myself", it was as if I'd visited the country a few times by now and the unfamiliar language, being a bit more familiar now, could reach me. Which it has done, in a big way.
Sleepwalking through our current world crisis was never a likely scenario for me, but having read this book, it seems like even an hour off is out of the question.
And there's no hiding place, even if I wished it, from the clarity of seeing my own part in the crisis and the state of my consciousness.
Pray for me! I'll never rest again.

This book is rich and deep and thought provoking and very important and necessary. I am so thankful that I stumbled into the works of Marion Woodman.
Woodman is a Jungian analyst and author. A great deal of the studies of this book are from Carl Jung and they are really beautiful. But she also explores other topics such as mythology, ancient history and quantum physics. This is one of those books that you need to savor when you read, and make notes, and ponder the message of what she is saying with each section. It borders on being an academic read, but without the boring rhetoric that a lot of academic studies can hold.
Being a Jungian book archetypes are front and center. The main focus of the book is on the Goddess mentality, and its effects on our subconscious and behaviors in today's patriarchal world. Specifically she talks in depth about the image of the Black Goddess throughout history as seen in all forms of the world from the Indian goddess Kali to the Black Madonnas carried by Crusaders during Medieval times.
The entire focus is not just on women though. There are many stories of men and how men relate to the Goddess energy and their inner feminine energies which are majorly repressed in a patriarchal world. One of my favorite section on the studies for men was the symbolism of The Horned God. Woodman explains,
"The Horned God, moreover, is an archetypal figure quite unlike most masculine images as they appear in our culture. He is difficult to understand because he does not fit into any of the expected stereotypes, neither of those of the "macho" male nor the reverse-images of those who deliberately seek effeminacy. He is gentle, tender and comforting, but he is also the Hunter. He is the Dying God---but his death is always in the service of the life force. He is untamed sexuality--but sexuality as a deep, holy, connecting power. He is the power of feeling, and the image of what men could be if they were liberated from the constraints of patriarchal culture. The Horned God, the wild man, symbolizes everything that the patriarchal persona disdains, because he plunges people into change, uncertainty, freedom from conformity. He is spontaneous, not rational and controlled; he is honest and straightforward, not devious and manipulative; he is in service to life, not in domination over it. He is confident in his own potency and does not need to compensate with phallic missiles. He is creative, not destructive of the earth or of relationships. Whereas Apollo, the Sun God, turned women into trees, or stones, or made them lose their voice, Dionysus, the god of ecstasy and dance, was, perhaps, the only god on Olympus that remained faithful to one woman, Ariadne. The real reason Dionysus has been banished from our culture is that he is the God of death and resurrection. Patriarchy, with its unrealistic faith in the goals of this life, is built upon the denial of transformation and death."
Another favorite part of the book for me I will share (there were many) was the discussion of the Crone, represented as the elderly wise woman. She was burned at the stake long ago, and her wisdom and respect has been lost ever sense. Woodman talks about how valuable the Crone is for everybody but especially young teenage girls as they have no wise women in today's world to teach them and thus they are forced to become a product of consumerism. The issue with that is that it fractures our females. Woodman turns to mythology and the study of Hera as a great Crone example:
"Hera's jealousy (towards Zeus) consumed her life. Today we would say that her marriage to Zeus was one of quintessential codependency. As long as Hera projects on her husband all her own unlived creativity, so long as she expects to find fulfillment exclusively in her role as Mrs. Zeus, she creates her own betrayal and a marriage that is in a permanent state of war with brief interludes of peace in bed...It was not until Hera finally decided that she had had enough of Zeus's promiscuity that things began to change. She left Zeus and returned to her birthplace in Euboea. In aloneness she came to terms with her essential oneness. She had engaged her Crone state. Women are, by nature, disposed to relationship and connectedness; yet true relationship cannot be embraced until a woman has a deep sense of her at-one-ment. Without this essential independence from all roles and bonds, she is a potential victim for servitude. Once Hera let this Crone energy in, had accepted that part of herself that is bound by no relationship, she returns to Zeus. From then on it was not a marriage based on need--something that Zeus undoubtedly understood and responded to. Hera demanded and go her wish fully met, matched, and mated. She was ready for the deep marriage for which is had always longed."
Women need this book in order to get to the root of their own insecurities that we all have. It is a very healing book and one that really shows the true power and love of feminine energy in its rightful placement. I hope the messages of this book come to light for everybody in the future and everybody, men and women, would benefit from the healing benefit of its teachings.

Utter claptrap. After reading this I remain deeply skeptical in regard to anything related to Jungian philosophy. Patient dreamt of a mountain that was really a giant vulva. Of course they did. Patient made remarkable progress in only eleven months but will need many more years to complete the transformation. Of course they will. To add insult to injury the authors invoked quantum mechanics.

I have read a lot of feminine, goddess centered material. I've even written some, and I lead workshops with some frequency. That all said, this book was one of the biggest disappointments I have ever read. I had to force myself to finish it. It is written from the perspectives of people who are very much in love with their own words and need to display how very advanced and intelligent they are.
There are plenty of good books and articles out there about the feminine, goddess archetypes, and how they relate to individuals and the larger society -- but this is not one of them.

The cover of Dancing in the Flames by Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickson features a naked goddess. She is quite awake and consuming the hot flames that surround her whilst dancing in their light. The authors warn us that the sleep of the goddess is a special time and not necessarily an unconscious one. When she rises, refreshed, ready, and truly awake now, it is in the trinity of virgin, mother and crone, each with her own job to do, her own aspect that transforms, ultimately, into the whole person. Woodman and Dickson discuss the essence of worship of the great goddess, underlining its primary transfiguring function: "...there must be a death to the ego self; there must be a transformation in which there is a letting go of all false values, of all things that the egotistical nature clings to," and further that:
"In the burial ground of the heart, the goddess's enlightened devotees see beyond literal death to the death of values rooted in fear. When they come to accept death as a necessary step in their transformation, then Kali can dance her dance of perpetual becoming. Once her cycles are accepted, those who love her are free of fear of death, free of their own vulnerability, free to live her mystery...destroying in order to create, creating in order to destroy, death in the service of life, life in the service of death."

A bit heavy on the psychological lingo (given the authors are Jungian psychologists, not a surprise) but otherwise a lovely exploration of the resurgence of the Goddess in individuals and the collective unconscious. I underlined/highlighted a lot of things that resonated!

I LOVE this book. I have read it at least five times now, at five important moments of change and transformation in my life and have gotten new insight each and every time. This is one of the treasured books in my library.

Marion Woodman writes this book to promote the idea that feminism needs to be brought to consciousness,our soul. This in turn would bring about about a new understanding of the Masculine.
Her reference to the 11th century "burning at the stake" of over two million "witches",(the most gifted women of the time), reminds us how emergence of feminism threatened the patriarchal world at that time. We are still reeling with the effects of that, and are dealing with the same issue, more so in some countries.
Woodman refers to physicists like Wolf, Jung and Freud and their understanding of the unconscious. We know that things that happen to us are the result of the strange law of coincidence, synchronicity. For example, someone a woman who hoped to attend university in another country is forced to make a creative u-turn due to family considerations; a week later she finds a better opportunity in her own city. Another example might be you, thinking about a career in writing children's books and you discover a writer-in-residence in your community who welcomes people to consult with her for free.
Unexplained things can happen when you are in tune with yourself. You can glean cruel insights about yourself too! In our busy lifestyles we are losing track of ourselves and any meaningfulness we should have. Woodman says we need to stop dwelling in the past or the future and enter "now".
"Metaphors act as our guides", she says.
That I understand, but I think I needed to read a primer on the subject first. It is clear that Marion Woodman is very perceptive, and has done a tremendous amount of research. She has compiled a tremendous volume of information for study and has written several books on the subject.
She reinforces biological connections of the body and spirit,includes the world of dream, and the importance of both receptors and the chemical substances, neuropeptides, in the body. We may suffer from depression as a result of a thyroid condition or perhaps cancer because of extreme stress due to the break-up of a relationship. We see the connection. We struggle with addictions with food, alcohol, drugs. We see manifestations of fundamentalism and cults. Threats to society are growing daily. How we deal with all this is our call.
At the root of this book, is Kali, the Black Madonna (the Goddess of the Dance), a figure who apparently occurs in contemporary dreams. No doubt, we can see our spiritual condition in our dreams but this is an interesting twist. Keeping a notebook beside your be might be an idea for us all.
We get a lesson in Mythology, eg. the great goddess Kali(also called Baba Yaga),the Horned god, Dionysus, and Zeus; she delves into Eastern culture and Buddhism.
Inclusion of poetry, sketches, charts, dream interpretations and photos make the book more readable. She admits her writing style is unusual; it is hard to read without doing research yourself as she introduces topics such as "feminism with quantum physics in the same breath".
After struggling to finish this book, I am convinced that we need to take the time to play and express ourselves, be it in writing, art, music, travel, dance, or outdoor activities. "It is through creativity that we connect to the energy we tend to repress."

Birth does not exist without women, or without death- Enter the Dark Goddess, with her roots steeped in pagan spirituality and the new moon. The opposite of the mother of the full moon. This examination of the dark goddess throughout many contexts is brilliant.
Understanding your darkness and your feminine is critical for everyone- men and women. This one may be a little too pagan for everyone's tastes, but open, curious minds will love it. I found this at the Gypsy Market bookshelves and before I could finish the last chapters I lent it to friends of both genders, my brother, his girlfriend.. and then it travelled out of sight somewhere in Brooklyn. They all seemed to really get something personally relevant from it - what that was for each of them, I'll never know.
Even though I didn't get to the end, I enjoyed this one. It's a good primer and I got a few new details and applications of context. Always fun to launch a book out into the world like that..

Really loaded with pschological and hocus pocus jargon, so mostly rating on a jist of the book but its message stays with me in a theory and a feeling. I liked it, felt informative and reflective.

July 16, 2011Being new to this whole genre of "Jungian" theory...I am defintely struggling through the unfamiliar terminology. I've made it about halfway through the book, and I find the subject matter itself very interesting. After a considerable amount of effort and time on my part to grasp the meaning of the jargon, I have been able to ascertain at least some parts of the message. However, I feel that I'm not doing the book any justice by pushing through without fully understanding the phrasings =( Does anyone perhaps have a suggestion for a "lighter" version of this subject matter that I can start with which might help me grasp the wording when I re-attempt this book later? Thank you!

This was my first Marion Woodman book, and I was captivated. When the student's ready, the teacher comes. I've known that this year (2012) is my time to begin the work of integrating my body, and she's the helper I've received for this part of my journey. Her focus on the body and its integration is so helpful to me, and this book put me on a path of reading most of her work. I'm grateful.

After reading Marion Woodman's 'Conscious Femininity', I felt sure that I'd enjoy this book but maybe not quite as much. I was wrong, I was absorbed by it from start to finish. In the process I've pieced together some unconscious inner processes and dream images, propelling a shift in my inner perception. Another important book by Marion Woodman.
May 11, 2019
This book is one of my all-time favorites! Using examples from goddess mythology the world over Woodman teaches us not to fear our destructive natures; in fact, she exhorts us to allow ourselves to be engulfed in the transformative flames!

I really wanted to enjoy this book,, but it is too vague , difficult to follow and I feel that sometimes the author repeats borrowed up ideas again and again in an uninteresting way, almost as though she just wants to fill up pages to sell a book. I don't necessarily disagree with her theories, but the way they are presented to the reader are too confusing even for a avid Jungian reader like me. By the time I finished it , I was feeling annoyed by the time invested (wasted?) In reading something that could have been summoned up in a few lines but somehow took over 200 pages of gibberish.
For in depth , multi-dimensional Jungian writing , Marie-Louise Von Franz is my favourite.

Though written in the late 1990s, this book still has a timeless resonance to it. I read this book on and off for over a year, but found it helpful and personally relevant whenever I would dive back in. I enjoyed the weaving of dream experiences, quantum physics, and spirit world/deities, and felt the authors did a great job juxtaposing all of these different facets of understanding. A little heavy on the dream examples (I could have used just one or maybe two to illustrate each concept) but understandable since the authors are Jungian dream analysts. Easy to follow, digest, and very thought-provoking, reading this book guided me in a lot of self-reflection

I devoured the first half of this book. The history of society and how we came to be where we are today was worth the price of admission. It blew my mind and clicked so many things into place.
I lost momentum about halfway through because Woodman can tend to get super heady and go off on academic or esoteric tangents that make me feel like a student struggling to keep up with an aloof professor and question my intellect.
Overall, worth the read. I love how she weaves together history, dreams, myth, science, and psychology. She is brilliant and writes beautifully about information I, for one, am hungry for and believe the world is hurting for.

This is my bible for living an authentic life as a woman, my copy is dog-eared, worn but not yet tired. I love Marion's way of bringing her journey to life through profound imagery and sensation. I have watched the documentary numerous times and continue to learn about her and myself at the same time. She was a woman before her time, for anyone struggling to find their path in midlife, dive deep into this richness.

A profound work rich in symbolism and insightful explorations of the divine feminine. It offers complex analyses of her manifestation in the psyches of both men and women during individuation. The text demands considerable engagement and is not suitable for those unfamiliar with Jungian psychology. I highly recommend Marion Woodman's work and have purchased several additional titles to further my studies.
November 15, 2021
This book was written in 1996, so a lot of the cultural stuff is outdated. It is also a dense read. Jungian analysis, dream work, etc. It is a good read though, if you can get through it. There is much that is still relevant in today's world. It did give me some insights on what is wrong with a certain element in our society.

This book delves into the transformative power of embracing the darker aspects of the self. The book offers a deep understanding of the human experience and the potential for growth through confronting one's own shadow.

Dancing in the Flames: The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of Consciousness by Canadian Jungian analyst Marion Woodman and psychologist and Jungian analyst Elinor Dickson is a thoroughly fascinating book.
