The Way of Woman
Why do so many women now feel so conflicted about their roles, so cut off from sources of spiritual nourishment in their lives? More importantly, what can they do about it? In The Way of Woman, Helen M. Luke has brought six decades of experience to bear in answering these two questions, drawing on a rich trove of feminine images and symbols from the Bible, mythology, folklore, Greek tragedies, and modern poetry to guide women on a path to the lasting personal fulfillment that can only come through understanding one's essential feminine nature.
Old Age
"Better to spend a day meditating on a single page of her writing than to read a stack of books on enlightenment." -Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and The Planets Within "Helen Luke is a unique voice that carries beautiful passion, feeling, and clarity. She is clearly one of our most precious national treasures." -Helen Pinkola Ests, author of Women Who Run with the Wolves In this classic text on aging wisely, the renowned Jungian analyst Helen M. Luke reflects on the final journeys described in Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare's King Lear, and T.S. Eliot's "Little Gidding," as well as devoting attention to suffering. In examining some of the great masterpieces of literature produced by writers at the end of their lives, she elucidates the difference between growing old and disintegrating, encouraging the reader to grow emotionally and mentally during the culminating stage of life.
The Laughter at the Heart of Things
These essays explore the nature of feminine and masculine psychology and the role of story and myth in human culture, and offer insight into the spiritual meaning within modern and classical literature. Several previously unpublished essays are collected here -- including an analysis of two of Shakespeare's greatest plays, "The Merchant of Venice" and "Antony and Cleopatra." The title essay reflects on the vital importance of a sense of humor on the spiritual road to freedom and joy. "Laughter at the Heart of Things" combines Christian spirituality with Jungian psychology to discuss the importance of openly and consciously facing the suffering that is part of being human.
Kaleidoscope
At an age when most people would be thinking about retirement, Helen M. Luke embarked on two new careers, helping found the Apple Farm Community, a retreat and study center near Three Rivers, Michigan, and simultaneously making her debut as a writer, drawing on a lifetime of spiritual and psychological counseling. These essays, published over the past three decades, show the breadth of Luke's experiences as a Jungian psychologist, lecturer, and author. The collection is divided into three sections, indicative of three main streams in Luke's own thinking: her distinctive viewpoint as a woman who has lived through and observed every decade of the present century; the importance of Anglo-Cathol...

Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On
Every life retells the hero or heroine's journey: a wondrous, sometimes painful but always necessary movement toward wholeness. What better way to understand our own experiences of growth and transformation than to hear from others who have gone before us? In "Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On" Helen Luke explores the inner life through dream and imagery, story and symbol. The first half of the book covers Luke's life from her earliest recollections until the age of seventy. It weaves together dreams and symbolic images from her inner life with accounts of personal events, including her seminal meeting with Jung. The book's second half is comprised of selections from the journals she kept during her last twenty years of life, offering a rare glimpse into a personal path of individuation.
The Clown Egg Register
For clown lovers and art lovers alike, the only collection of clown faces painted on eggs anywhere in the world The Clown Egg Register is a unique record of two hundred and fifty clown faces, each one painted on to an egg. The eggs act as copyright for a clown's personal visual identity, preserving the unwritten rule that a clown must never copy the face of another. It is a tradition that began in the United Kingdom in the 1940s at Clowns International, the oldest established club for clowns. In this book, the inimitably eccentric collection of images is paired with biographies of each clown, revealing details of their private and public lives, and giving a glimpse into this outmoded art form that continues to delight and terrify children everywhere.

Such Stuff as Dreams are Made on
"Luke's diaries, forming the second half of the book, are selections from fifty-four volumes of journals written during her final years. They further explore the mythic images and stories of her life's dream work. She focuses her attention on numinous realms of the psyche, expanding upon the themes of her autobiography: the relationships of masculine and feminine natures, the liberation of the Self from the bonds of the ego, and the alchemical mystery of becoming who we truly are."--BOOK JACKET.
