    • Exploring the concept of the feminine through the lens of Jungian analysis, this book invites readers to reconnect with the wisdom of the "Old Woman," inspired by the author's Celtic grandmother. Claire Douglas critiques the masculine-centric dualities of contemporary culture and presents an alternative that embraces the feminine self within everyone. Through myth, personal experiences, and therapeutic practices centered on "cherishment," she illustrates how healing is intertwined with a nurturing Motherline, promoting deeper connections and self-discovery.
