Lilith is the mythological seductress that has been repressed since Biblical times. She is the representative of the essentially motherless form of the feminine Self that arose as an embodiment of the neglected and rejected aspects of the Great Goddess. Written by a Jungian analyst, this material can help modern men and women come to terms with this aspect of the feminine within.

An invaluable title for every woman who is working towards reclaiming her own power Weaving is a process; woman is the essence of this book. Every woman will experience blood mysteries, dealing with mother, being a daughter, Amazon, Hetaerae, and integrating the shadow, if she is to mature. Share with the author, a Jungian analyst for over 25 years, the experiences you have in common with other women in the process of becoming. As Barbara Black Koltuv reveals, there is no such thing as a completed definition of woman. Women are always in the process of becoming and weaving together all the elements of their lives into their own unique patterns.

The process of individuation described by Carl Jung's work is personalized by this master storyteller. Lovers meet, test, know, connect, and part. This story can be understood on many levels -- it is a splendid love story; it is also the story of the heart's journey toward individuation and inner marriage. We still do it today.

The second commandment of the Old Testament forbids the making of idols to represent God. However, since human beings have always needed a direct and personal connection to the divine, a way is provided in Exodus when God says, "Make a sanctuary for me and I will come to dwell among you." God goes on to give instructions for building the Ark of the Covenant--the first tribal amulet, not yet personal but still representing the presence of God. From there, amulets, talismans, and magical jewelry evolved to provide a personal connection to God. Koltuv has collected bits of scripture describing amulets and talismans and features pictures of her extensive collection of these protective and magical treasures. It's all here: glass beads for protection against the evil eye; the mezuzah found on door frames; the hamsa, or upraised hand; engraved pendants and tiny boxes containing special prayers; Aron's breastplate; the prayer shawl and teffilin; henna hand and foot painting; and amulets from the Sepher Rezial. As visually fascinating as these objects are, how they came into use is even more so. Koltuv revives an awareness of how many of the objects we wear and carry with us without a second thought are actually magical bridges between heaven and earth.

A dream not interpreted is like a letter unread. . . Chisda, Talmud Berakoth, 3rd cent In a dream, in a vision of the night . . . He opens the ears of men (Job 33:15-16) 
In this engaging book, Barbara Black Koltuv, Ph.D, shares her wisdom, knowledge and her insightful approach to dreamwork to illuminate how each of us can find the way to Self-knowing, renewal, and healing. Dr. Koltuv evokes the image of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem as a place of dreams and soulful dreamwork. At the Wall, we offer up our prayers to God, and at the Wall, if we listen closely, we can hear the voice of God within us. Dr. Koltuv uses this metaphor of the Wall as the conduit, the listening heart between the dreamer and the hidden voice waiting to be heard within the soul. In Nights by the Wall, Koltuv leads us through the realm of dreamwork to show how, through our dreams, we can come to know our Self in a complete and truthful way. Simply writing down dreams, and allowing them to matter, opens a sacred pathway to healing, wholeness, and joy. Dreams are the heart’s knowledge and the guiding words of the soul. They give us a symbol system and a personal soul language by which we can know and become our most authentic Self.
