Title: Not the real thing
Review: As a life-long admirer of St.John of the Cross' sublime works on the dark night, I was intrigued by the introduction in Thomas Moore's book "The Dark Nights of the Soul". The first few chapters held my attention and I was expecting some good stuff to come. Imagine my surprise when Mr. Moore begins to introduce some pretty goofy, "new age" stuff like godesses and tarot cards as tools to deal with the "dark night"!I quickly came to realize that Mr. Moore's dark night has zero to do with St. John of the Cross'.I guess that is the reason why he is a "former" catholic monk!If you are looking for a spiritual intake on the dark night don't bother with this book. Read St. John of the Cross instead or--if you are interested in a commentary of his works--read Barbara Dent's "My Only Friend is Darkness". You will find in both solid guidance and the familiarity of pilgrims on the "nada" path.
