The Metamorphosis of the Gods: Archetypal Astrology and the Transformation of the God-Image in The Red Book
Featuring Keiron Le Grice
9/26/18 at 11AM Eastern US Time
The Asheville Jung Center is very pleased to announce an upcoming webinar about the new book Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions Volume 2
hosted by the co-editors Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt. In this webinar
they will bring in Keiron Le Grice to speak about his chapter titled
“The Metamorphosis of the Gods: Archetypal Astrology and the
Transformation of the God-Image in The Red Book.” A broader
consideration of the significance of Jung’s Red Book must take into
account the historical moment in which it was created. If it is relevant
not only to Jung himself, as the articulation of a personal mythology,
but also to Western civilization at large, then we must turn our focus
to the evolution of the modern West as revealed in its major historical
and religious transitions. One way this might be done, in keeping with
the tenets of Analytical Psychology, is to consider the archetypal
factors impinging upon the Western psyche and the cultural Zeitgeist in
the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from the time of Jung’s birth to
the creation of Liber Novus. In so doing, we might gain some
perspective on the significance of our own time and our evolving
conceptions of the spiritual dimension of experience.
