I am currently working on a novel that incorporates many of the themes covered by the author in The Sacred Prostitute: sacred sexuality (hieros gamos), Mary Magdalene and comparison with the Virgin Mary, the Black Madonna, patriarchy, etc. It contributed nicely to my knowledge of such subjects but took the concept of proper development of one's feminine side (in men as well as women) to a new level, especially relevant at this time when there is a resurgence of the ugliest in maleness with the current political situation in the US.
As noted in other reviews, it makes a strong use of Jungian psychology and relies heavily on dream interpretation. It reminded me that there is much still to be learned and gained from studying Jung and his work. Nevertheless, it served to pull together, confirm and advance many of the themes I encountered during research for my novel. Highly recommended for those seeking a more profound understanding of our combined masculine-feminine nature.
