The Dark Archetype by Denise Dumars & Lori Nyx

The Dark Archetype: Exploring the Shadow Side of the Divine Denise Dumars & Lori Nyx | New Page Books | Trade Paperback, First Edition (2003)

Out of print and increasingly scarce, this focused alternative spirituality title explores the "shadow" side of human experience—grief, anger, fear, mortality, and primal energies—through the mythological lens of deities associated with destruction, transformation, and underworld mysteries.

Through historical analysis, psychological insight, and practical ritual, the authors profile cross-cultural figures including Kali, Hekate, Lilith, Sekhmet, Set, Loki, Dionysos, and Shiva—reframing them not as "evil" but as necessary catalysts for spiritual renewal and personal transformation. An essential guide for shadow work, psychological integration, and advanced ritual practice.

Condition: Like New (With Interior Markings) Pristine exterior—bright gloss cover, sharp corners, flat uncreased spine, no shelf wear. Interior text block is tight and clean with a few minimal pen checkmarks left by a previous reader near select deity profiles and ritual passages.
