Loving or nurturing or hostile and devouring, The Great Mother is
explored as a primordial image of the human psyche in this landmark
book by the renowned analytical psychologist Erich Neumann. Here he
examines how this archetype has been outwardly expressed in many
cultures and periods since prehistory drawing on ritual, mythology,
art, and records of dreams and fantasies. Through a wealth of
descriptive passages and reproductions of artistic works ranging
from Paleolithic stone carvings to the sculptures of Epstein and
Moore, Neumann shows how the feminine has been represented: as
goddess, monster, gate, pillar, tree, moon, sun, vessel, and every
animal from snake to bird. In studying this array of both static
and transformative images, Neumann discerns a universal experience
of the Maternal as a dual source of life support and fear: an
experience rooted in the dialectical relation of growing
consciousness, symbolized by the child, to the unconscious and the
unknown, symbolized by The Great Mother.
