Ariadne Then and Now: The Labyrinth and the End of Times by Carol Matthews (Engl

Description: Ariadne Then and Now by Carol Matthews Turning to Ariadne, the Mistress of the labyrinth, the author asks for advice about how to face the end of times: aging and death. Just as the Cretan story of the Minotaur describes a journey towards death, Matthews travels labyrinths with her husband and others while consulting with her imaginary guide about what lies ahead. Unlike a maze which can trick and deceive you, leading to blind alleys and dead ends, the labyrinth is a trustworthy route on which you cannot be lost. Matthews follows the winding path, reflecting on poetry, folklore and psychology while receiving wisdom from the mythical Ariadne.

Review "Heady, rangy, and profound, this beautifully written book offers of series of meditations upon lifes many different possibilities. It stimulates deep reflection upon and reconciliation with decisions made and paths not taken. It is a must-read work for anyone seeking archetypal insight into lifes labyrinthine journey." Corey Anton, Professor of Communication, Grand Valley State University, Vice-President of the Institute of General Semantics, and author of How Non-Being Haunts Being and Sources of Significance"When things wind around on themselves, things like stories, histories, your digestive system or labyrinths-they touch on all sides, seeping experience across lines and membranes. In the entanglement, stories echo into one another. Carol Matthews wrote this book in beautiful hairpin curves, folding back on each other through personal and mythological twists, leaking into each other, resonating, reflecting. The story-ing of Ariadne Then and Now is an ecology of learning that chooses the depth of labyrinthian wisdom over the flatness of clarity. Dont try to unravel it, let the overlapping hold the necessary past in hand with unknown futures. The surreal threads of old myths can be followed into and through time to a vital lostness, Ariadne has given you a thread, long ago, it is right there in your hand." Nora Bateson, International Bateson Institute, author of Small Arcs of Larger Circles, and award-winning filmmaker of An Ecology of Mind"Engaging the ancient wisdom of the labyrinth as a lens, Carol Matthews walks her readers through a profound reflection on life and death; exploring paradoxes, the mysteries and the challenges that we encounter when we live fully, love deeply and grieve fiercely. Her writing is courageous, authentic and bold, yet also endearingly humble."
