The Woman Who Was Wild and Other Tales
By Karla Andersdatter"Each year more Goddesses were thrown out of the Land of Abundance for insurrection and disruption, and worst of all for asking the questions the Gods had forgotten. And every year more children were born on Earth ... these are the stories the goddess/women told their children in the long winter evenings and in the summer twilight. They gave new endings to old stories. in hopes that their children would learn a new way or loving, and pass it on to their children, who were to become the new human race."
-From "The Myth"
"our historical path has taken us to the edge or the abyss. The one-sidedness or our values lies with an overextension and overexpression of masculine values, to the point or grotesqueness and absurdity. The necessary and inevitable compensation comes from the long-sleeping feminine. from our taleteller's Lost Goddess. who now awakens in us. Perhaps she may draw us. in the final hour. back from the abyss."
-From "The Introduction"
These original tales by Karla Andersdatter, presented here with commentary by C. E. Brookes, bring together the "almost lost" art or the story and the personal and archetypal ramifications each contains.
Karla Andersdatter is a poet, novelist, and storyteller living in the Bay Area. C. E. Brookes is a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst in private practice in San Francisco.
