"Part of the calling of women as we move out of the last years of the 20th century and into the 21st is to revive a spirituality of creativity that is not afraid of the strange beauty of the underworld, of the subconscious, and to help men (and women) out of the restricted and narrow world of provable and limited fact in which society has imprisoned them" Maureen Murdock
