Inviting the Queen: An Emerging Archetype for Women at Midlife

by Sandra Rogers

Depth psychotherapist Sandra Rogers articulates what many women intuitively know—that the archetypal configuration of Maiden, Mother, and Crone is missing something. She offers us the archetype of the Queen, a stage in midlife between the Mother and the Crone. Through rich examples of real-life women, Sandra brings the Queen to life, and then, shows us how to fully embody her energies through the chakra system, including suggestions for journaling, meditation, visualization, and instructions for conducting a set-coronation ritual.This book could not be more relevant or timely! Sandra Rogers has written a book that embodies the last 60 years of women’s efforts to achieve both deeper psychological realization and broader efficacy in the world. Sandra’s book, Inviting the Queen, is written for women (and for men who love women) who are searching for a practical guidebook to she asks you to welcome the Queen, a symbol of inner empowerment, into your life via simple exercises, engaging stories, and an important new way of understanding the chakras. This book is a “crowning” achievement!~Patricia Ariadne, Ph.D., LMFTAssociate Professor of Psychology and Licensed Psychotherapist

This was an interesting book overall. It was not what I was expecting. I thought this would be more of a dive into the historical and Jungian psychology of the Queen archetype as it relates to a "Triple Goddess" format. However, that part was covered in a few pages at the very beginning of the book. The rest of the book was about engaging the Queen archetype energy at each Chakra level. I was looking for more of the latter and less of the former. It was still well written, concise, and interesting.
