Magic and Archetypes

March 15, 2002 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PST

lecture:

After a brief explanation of C.G. Jung’s concept of archetypes, the topics of magic, magician, transformation and wonder will be explored. Examples used will include dreams, synchronistic events, symbols from the Tarot and from the arts, and passages from the works of Jung. Based on his research at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich, Dr. Granrose will compare the concept of the magician with those of the shaman, the trickster, and the fool. He will also examine some of the ways in which Jungian analysis incorporates elements that were once part of traditional magic.
