New release recognizes Red Book as meaningful gift to the contemporary world
Jung's Red Book For Our Time: Searching for Soul Under Postmodern Conditions.
Through the exploration of the love story of Ariadne and Dionysos, Alchemy of the Heart takes us on an archetypal adventure into an ancient world where the dance of masculine and feminine ignites fullness of being in both men and women. From the shadowy labyrinth of Minos to the sacred Initiation Chamber at Pompeii, Alchemy of the Heart travels the landscape of both the outer world and the inner psyche.
“A solid and important work of scholarship that is a must-read for those doing depth psychological work,” says Carol S. Pearson, Ph.D., author and former president of Pacifica Graduate Institute. “Aguilar mines the myth of Dionysos and Ariadne for its insights into expanding Jungian notions about the animus and a woman’s journey to wholeness. In the process, she updates Jungian thought to match emerging ways of seeing gender, the feminine, and the masculine in our time.”
“A superb study of the myth of Dionysos through the lens of Jung’s spiritual alchemy,” says Michael P. Morrissey, Ph.D., and author. “Focusing on the sacred marriage of Dionysos and Ariadne, the author illuminates the journey to wholeness, both horizontal and vertical, revealing a power to heal not only a broken psyche but a broken world. Aguilar’s ‘meditative exegesis’ on the Dionysian initiation chamber in the Villa of Mysteries at Pompeii is a model of transcendence at the heart of Plato’s noetic philosophy. This is a penetrating reading bringing to life an ancient, yet timeless, myth.”
