Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Bolen is one of the most popular writers on goddesses, and with millions of baby boomers embarking upon their sixth decade, her new book should encounter a welcoming audience. Having shared her own midlife journey in Crossing to Avalon (1994), Bolen here looks to mythology for empowering archetypes for the older woman. For the first time in her work, she stretches her purview beyond the Greek pantheon to include goddesses from Egypt and Asia, and still she focuses primarily on the goddesses she has explored in such earlier works as Goddesses in Everywoman (1984). Bolen sees the aging woman as not only a font of wisdom but also a vibrant creative force, whose energies are free to move beyond the personal into the interpersonal and the transpersonal. Whether laughing like the mirthful Uzume or meditating with Hestia at the hearth, this "juicy crone" models power and passion in these pages. Patricia Monaghan

Inspiration for the older woman, and those who will be...
20. März 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Feeling a little under the weather as you arrive at that 50th or 60th milestone? Read Jean Bolen's GODDESSES IN OLDER WOMEN to give yourself a lift. Older women can "get a life" if they only pause to reflect on the inner self. Some think of aspects of the female self as archetypes or personality quirks, Bolen says they are "Goddesses within." Although we may fail to listen, and thus not hear them, inner voices occur throughout life. Different needs as well as life-long experience evokes different voices in the older woman. Her name may be wisdom, although she is more than wisdom, she is healing, compassion, and/or mirth. You may notice her voice which called to you when you were younger now has a new tone. We worship her, whether or not we think of her as a Goddess. She has been with you since girlhood as Mary or Kuan Yin or the Shekinah. First appearing as a maiden, then when we became mothers appearing as a mother. Now, she comes to us as a crone, the third phase of the moon-waxing-or the last aspect of the triple goddess. Known since ancient times, although appropriated by patriarchal faiths, still known if you listen to the small still voice in your heart.
As a 70s and 80s self-help junkie more disillusioned than ever by the US role in world events, I picked up this book-published in 2001-thinking, "Why am I doing this?" and "Been there, done that" "How could this apply to me" only to be pleasantly surprised by the delightful and helpful contents. After all these years, Jean Shinoda Bolen still has much to share. I am recommending this book to my daughter who is aged 43. There is more to life as an older woman than face lifts and sagging breasts.

Fascinating fun read...
25. Mai 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
First let me note that I am non religious, and only read books like this because they are fun to read. I do NOT subscribe to what they say.
Goddess In Older Women reminds me a great deal of Women Who Run With The Wolves which my sister gave me a dozen years ago. Jean Shinoda Bolen MS notes in the beginning that "At some point after fifty, every woman crosses a threshold into the third phase of her life. As she enters this uncharted territory--one that is generally uncelebrated in popular culture--she can choose to mourn what has gone before, or she can embrace the juicy crone years."
The book is split into 4 parts. 1 is Her name Is Wisdom which covers the Goddess of pratical and intellectual wisdom; mystical and spiritual wisdom;Intuitive and psychic wisdom; meditative wisdom.
2 She Is More...Than Wisdom which deals with the Goddess of Transformative Wrath-Her name is Outrage; Healing Laughter Her Name is Mirth; Compassion Her Name is Kindness
3 She Is A Goddess Growing Older Goddesses in Everywoman Revisted Artemis Goddess of Hunt and Moon; Athena Goddess of Wisdom and Crafts; Hestia Goddess of Hearth and Temple; Hera Goddess of Marriage; Demeter Goddess of Grain; Peresephone the Maiden and Queen; Aphrodite Goddess of Love and Beauty
Part 5 She Is a Circle. Circles of Wisewomen clan mothers Grandmother circles and Crone circles.
Fact is European women seem to appreciate and honour the crone more than we do here in the states. Crone sadly is a misunderstood word. It simply means an older women who is wise and wonderful. It isn't anything dark or spooky.

Jean Shinoda-Bolen does it again!
14. Februar 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I read Goddesses in Everywoman years ago during a year long stay in Greece and can say now that I didn't "get it" really. I am now mentoring a young woman and decided to reread the book to see if I should use it with her. I loved it and decided to read Goddesses in Older Women for myself as I near 50. I am struggling with many issues; Mom with Alzheimer's, death of a child 5 years ago, insomnia and physical hormonal changes...and I immediately liked her conceptualization of menopausal symptoms like insomnia, hot flashes, etc. She allowed me to see my alone hours in the middle of the night as something to use for my own creativity and private time. I kept reading and I find the use of archetypal images of the Goddesses invaluable. It is well explained and even women who've never heard of Jung can "get" this book and I think every woman turning 50 would learn something of how to make the most of the transition from the second phase of life into a colorful, loving, wisewoman crone.
