pickCatching up on belated reviews (still)… I read this for my spiritual direction program back in March.
I don‘t have much of a background in psychology, so this was a great intro to the Jungian idea of the shadow: the aspects of ourselves, both good & bad, that we unconsciously hide or suppress. There‘s a lot packed into this slim volume, and I was surprised by—but appreciated—the connections Johnson makes to faith ⤵️
I‘m not sure I entirely agree with this assessment, but this is where we are. Blue was also strong.

Pioneer study of the need for an inner female authority in a masculine-oriented society. Interprets the journey into the underworld of Inanna-lshtar, Goddess of Heaven and Earth, to see Ereshkigal, her dark sister. Very good thus far.

pickThis is an interesting work of psychology. It‘s a collection of essays inspired by Jungian theories of the collective unconscious and dream symbolism. Of course, Jung‘s essay is the stand-out of the bunch. I listened to this but got the paperback to reference images and interpretations of art. Very interesting book!
