Into the Heart of the Feminine: Facing the Death Mother Archetype to Reclaim Love, Strength, and Vitality

A Book for Women…and for Men



Imagine within each of us,

there is a deep, powerful source

for living lives of love, creativity and fulfillment…



To imagine this foundation for life and the energy it produces is to

imagine ourselves and our world filled with the influence of the

archetypal feminine – her passionate creativity, love and ageless

knowing. Personally and culturally, this force - which lives at the heart

of our lives - has been diminished and wounded until it seems to have

retreated beyond the horizon, in a world filled with rationalism

and an anxious search for the material “good life.”



This is a powerfully moving book that goes beyond gender roles into

the soul of the archetypal feminine, exploring how it has been

damaged and traumatized, and finding out how this condition affects

all of us. Written in a way that makes the material truly accessible to a wide audience, the authors' own personal and professional experiences are dynamically woven throughout the book in the form of rich and compelling stories.





Though both authors are attributed, Massimilla Harris’s voice shapes the trajectory of the book as she shares her own story of growing up in a patriarchal society and the trials she faced while encountering the Death Mother. Alongside the depth of knowledge related within the discussion of complexes, her bravery and sincerity is evident as she teaches others about the wisdom of this path. The result is an intimate tone that makes the volume accessible and inspiring, even for those unfamiliar with Jungian psychology.”
