A story about "Romancing the Shadow" — 6 years ago
This book is grounded in Jungian psychology and is based on Âshadow-workÂ. The authors talk about the shadow-characters that inhabit our psyche. When we are young, through our parents, out teachers and other social conditioning, we learn that certain behaviours/thoughts are not okay. As such, we learn to push these thoughts/feelings/behaviours into the shadows. through this we develop shadow characters that protect us in certain situations. (they use the metaphor of king arthur and the knights around the round table, the ‘self’ being arthur and the shadow characters being the knights.) each character often represents an archetype such as a greek god or goddess and it serves us in a particular way. The shadow characters often start off trying to protect the self but ends up sabotaging with inappropriate actions and behaviours. This is especially true when we are very out of touch with our feelings and our authentic selves. The shadow character takes over and controls the action. When the shadow character takes over the seat at the table, that’s when we react and do and say things that are not authentic to the self.
Very interesting and useful.

Wonderful book. As usual, Erskine weaves a tempting and delicious tale fraught with tension, history and mystery. One of her best!!
A story about "The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, Part 1)" — 6 years ago
It’s years since I read these books and decided I wanted to catch up with them before I watch the extended versions of the films. I plan to update this as I go.
Well, I finished it – so much for the updating ;> BUT I LOVED it! Fab. Am onto the second one as we speak.

Fantastic! I am enjoying this so much – I am listening to the audio version and listen to two or three hours every day. It’s tumultuous, being drawn by this flood of characters through russia’s history, but it’s utterly fascinating and really beautifully written
