In this book, the author merges the wisdom of astrology and Jungian depth psychology to form a warm and symbiotic relationship between them. Presented as a series of letters to an analyst, it also draws on the work of Mark Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar.

A Jungian lecturer and astrologer searches for the sacred in the commonplace on a Celtic pilgrimage to the Isle of Iona, in Scotland. "Iona," the Hebrew word for dove, became home to St. Columba, whose name in Latin means dove, in the year 563 on the Eve of the Pentecost -- the day of the ascent of the Holy Spirit in the Christian calendar, also symbolized by a dove. And so the narrative goes on, finding synchronicities of understanding at every turn.

With the mediating help of Sophia, the divine feminine principle of wisdom, we can decode the inner meaning of geometric shapes, numbers, and other symbols through intuition, to enrich our experience of living and deepen our appreciation of the mystery of form. Life has come out of the sea, and as it did so millions of years ago, it emerged in tiny forms of exquisite design. The geometric web by which creation lifted life into being was preexistent. Its counterpart lies in the seas of our own personal and collective unconscious, as Carl Gustav Jung pointed out. Through awareness we can discover preexisting patterns that can show us meaningful order in the chaos we experience at times in the world, and in our personal lives. A companion to Dove in the Stone, the book is illustrated with fifty line drawings and figures and includes an entertaining workbook-- "Sophia's Mondayschool" -- with exercises that guide readers in exploring for themselves the mysteries of sacred geometry.

In The Heavens Declare, author and astrologer Alice O. Howell proclaims, "We are not confronting the end of the world, but the end of the Age of Pisces!" Integrating two major disciplines of astrology and Jungian depth psychology, Howell's latest title reveals the fascinating connection between astrology and the evolution of the Collective Unconscious, C.G. Jung's theory that the unconscious mind is shared by all humans and contains archetypes and universal mental predispositions not grounded in physical experience. Written in the form of thought-provoking letters to her analyst friend, Howell's natural wit and charm compliment the text. Exploring the synchronicity between myth, history, religion, and the evolution of humankind over the past five astrological ages--spanning some 12,000 years--she presents the current tasks and the potential traps humanity now faces. Howell also provides her audience with a deeper understanding and method of healing the individual psyche. She illustrates that an astrologer serves as a type of psychologist who analyzes the position of the stars and planets within an individual's astrological chart for the purpose of understanding his or her psychological makeup, the personal challenges he or she may face, and the possible solutions to overcoming those obstacles.

Over the centuries astrology has been a source of help to many people. Today, Jungian depth psychology has proven to be of great value in the therapy process. In this book, Alice O. Howell has successfully merged the wisdom of both disciplines, forming a warm and symbiotic relationship between them. Presented as a series of semi-autobiographical letters to an analyst friend, the author presents her ideas with a rare combination of humor and wisdom. It is an exciting, landmark work that brings into play the insights of Carl Jung alongside those of respected astrologers such as Marc Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar. Why and how astrology connects to the spiritual dimension is the underlying thrust of this book in which each chapter presents insightful, thought-provoking ideas and concepts that will help the reader better understand the chart from an esoteric perspective. Specific chapters focus on each of the planets, chart symbolism, karma, causality and synchronicity, ego and self, and the meaning of the chart. About this book, reviewers wrote: ...Jungian Symbolism in Astrology has an intimate and personal flavor that makes it an extraordinary pleasure to read. Richard Nolle, Dell Horoscope ...it can be enjoyed and understood by anyone with an interest in either Jung, astrology, or both. Kenneth Irving, American Astrology

Alice O. Howell is known best as a unique writer, a Jungian therapist, an author of works on symbolism and The Beejum Book for children. She has also written poetry all her life. It was, in fact, her original vocation, practiced since the age of fifteen. Now eighty-seven, From the Archives of the Heart collects the author’s poems of more than seven decades. Organized chronologically, her poems tell the story of a deeply human life, one devoted to the spirit, continuous transformation, and both inner and outer development. Through different forms, poetic and experiential, Alice Howell’s poems trace, in her own unique way, one woman’s path to the embodiment of Wisdom, whom she calls Sophia. As these poems map her life, they move from the visionary and philosophical to the mythological and the language of Jung. Because her life is always lived in relationship, these themes are also extraordinarily and constantly leavened by intimate, deeply moving poems of love: Each star is a kiss I would give you ― Should others wake to a starless night you would be lying in my arms covered with light. Understanding the very life of words themselves, Alice O. Howell’s language is fresh, often funny, and always incisive, cutting to the quick of her subjects. It is no wonder, then, that more than a few connoisseurs have long loved these poems, many never published before.
