The Black Mother: the Essential Archetype for a New Millennium
Dr. Douglas Canterbury-Counts, Ph.D., MDIV
In the 1930s the psychologist Carl Jung wrote that if contemporary civilization did not rediscover the importance of the Feminine and integrate this archetype into our lives there would be no hope for the existence of humanity. Dr. Jean Houston has offered that one of the most significant events that makes this period in history unique is the emergence and honoring of the Feminine. The archetype of the Mother will be discussed with its psycho spiritual implications. A particular emphasis will be placed on the Black Mother, Kali, and the wisdom She offers us. The psychological technique of the identification and integration of shadow projection is discussed as a practical means of using the "fierce love" of this Black Mother.
