ABSTRACT Owls are intriguing animals and omnipresent symbols throughout human history from prehistory to contemporary cinematography, challenging art historians, psychologists, and psychoanalysts. In addition to the owl’s simply decorative occurrence in art, owls as symbols—the topic of very few studies—are usually associated with night, death, wisdom, and evil. This article explores the history of the development of owl symbolism and its related archetypal meanings, which has contributed to the understanding of these birds in art, psychology, culture, and semiotics.

ABSTRACT In this paper published in the American Journal of Psychotherapy in 1956, John Weir Perry lays out a Jungian view of schizophrenia as an irruption of symbolic archetypal images and processes into the field of consciousness. These symbols represent the essence of the psychotic process and can point to a healing process. More specifically, the symbols of catatonic schizophrenia almost invariably are found to contain a death and rebirth pattern as illustrated in the case of a hospitalized patient with whom he worked over a period of six months.

ABSTRACT Shamanism is generally considered to be humankind’s original religious practice. Centuries of Russian oppression followed by more recent exposure to Western media culture may have weakened the transmission of traditions of the Sakha people in Arctic Siberia, but a new generation of Sakha healers still strives to keep their traditions alive in a modern world. These contemporary healers are heirs to an unbroken shamanic tradition dating back centuries. They form a living bridge to their ancestors. This article is a collaborative project—both in terms of conceptualization and writing—between a Californian psychotherapist and a member of the new generation of Siberian Sakha healers with the goal of bringing better understanding of the Sakha perspective while also looking at shamanism through a Jungian lens.

ABSTRACT In a time when truth and values are under assault, Mira Nair’s 2012 political thriller The Reluctant Fundamentalist gives new meaning to the current situation. It describes a young Pakistani man, Changez, who leaves his home (and soul) behind to pursue the American dream. He attains a high position with a big corporation that acquires failing businesses. In the course of his work a business owner reminds Changez (meaning change) of all he left behind—traditional values, his father’s poetry, a loving family, and his native religion. He gives up his American success and returns home where an attempt is made to recruit him into an extremist religious group. Torn between Western material values and an extreme religious movement, Changez asks himself, “What is real?” This is a numinous place where the confluence of opposites must be reckoned with. Changez’s story follows the hero’s journey with all the same challenges involved in the process of individuation. He exemplifies much of the conflict many people are facing in a very polarized politico-religious environment. The result is somewhat disturbing, but at the same time the film masterfully portrays the tumultuous path one often must take in finding their real self.

Farnaz Fatemi
When I am a little girl I learn to feel the space between me and my twin sister as if it is an atomic bond and we are ions— the relative connection only shifts by push and pull. Our peeling apart is a chemical surprise. Each split is innocent. She is never mean by leaving, but she is easily bored by the games I spend hours with— jigsaw puzzles and every variation on the dictionary game I can think of. I fall blind into the trap of believing I can keep her here. I feel unreal when her energy lessens, when the gleam of her laughter casts distracted off our table. Later, every time my lover’s attention drifts, I reach for my sister’s arm to keep her here, clutch my reflection in a mirror, sit it down next to me and feel the space between us strangle into stasis. She turns away and shines her light on our mirror, refracts back

ABSTRACT Associated with renewed begetting, the phallus is a highly relevant concept with regard to the dying and resurgent god Dionysus. Percy Bysshe Shelley’s writings are filled with Dionysian images that may suggest the archetypal concept of death-rebirth. Shelley’s Alastor, or The Spirit of Solitude (1815) presents a young visionary poet who becomes a Dionysian phallic symbol at the end of the poem only to rise himself anew in a posthumous transcendent garden sometime in a far future. Fleeing from the cold and cruel human society that denies him truth, Shelley’s hero undergoes a quest for finding truth, which appears to him in the form of female bodies of the veiled maiden and the earth mother. Whereas the former, dissolving his male subjectivity, catches him sexually and delusively, the latter devours him in order to provide him with the charmed circle of the mother. This article attempts to explore the modality of this quest and the hero’s transformation into a worm-like phallus in the light of the Jungian archetypes of anima and phallus.

Thomas Singer
ABSTRACT Thomas Singer takes readers on a tour through the imaginal worlds created by Steve Coleman and a team of volunteers dedicated to keeping the spirit of the Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley, California, alive during COVID-19 pandemic. In the windows filled with puppets and in the exhibit of rooms created on the mezzanine of the theatre, visitors were invited to create their own stories. The author, struck by the connections to Ingmar Bergman’s film Fanny and Alexander, explores the connections not only between Coleman’s and Bergman’s creations through photos and clips from the film but also between the author and artist. Throughout Steve Coleman shares his thoughts on the Throckmorton, Zen space, the imaginal, mystery, and the act of creating itself.

ABSTRACT Psychology as Ethics: Reading Jung with Kant, Nietzsche and Aristotle is Giovanni Colacicchi’s reader-friendly but philologically rigorous reconstruction of the ideas that converge from the great tradition of Western moral philosophy into Jung’s “psycho-ethical model.” Colacicchi probes the Jungian text with a philosophical mind in search of conceptual clarity, but he does not refrain from putting forth original theoretical ideas such as the notion of an “ethical transference” between analysand and analyst or a model of Jungian-Aristotelian psycho-ethical types. The challenges faced by the emerging field of Jungian ethics are discussed on the basis of this foundational work.

ABSTRACT In this review, the author tells of her experience with the labyrinth through her review of Lauren Artress’s The Path of the Holy Fool: How the Labyrinth Ignites Our Visionary Powers. This book weaves together Jungian concepts with the meditative practice of walking the labyrinth. It uses the Grail legend and the Holy Fool as metaphors for describing this imaginative process.
