The archetype of the Wanderer appears as a figure of profound loneliness, who drifts through life without a fixed home or direction, restless in the search for purpose and belonging. He has far-sickness, a deep longing for distant places and the hope of eventually finding a place on earth where he truly feels at home.

The Fool Dances with Death
The Danse Macabre (or Dance of Death) is a late medieval motif that illustrates the universality of death. The constant famines, wars, and especially the Black Death in Europe showed how fragile and fleeting life truly was. Death was not a distant fate but a sudden, ever-present companion. This grim reality intensified the religious desireContinue reading “The Fool Dances with Death”
The Buddhabrot: The God-Image of the Universe

The Psychology of Sin
“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but itContinue reading “The Psychology of Sin”
The Psychology of God’s Dark Side
“I have landed the great whale; I mean Answer to Job. I can’t say I have fully digested this tour de force of the unconscious. It still goes on rumbling a bit, rather like an earthquake.” C.G.

Carl Jung: A Journey into the Depths of the Soul
“My life is a story of the self-realisation of the unconscious. Everything in the unconscious seeks outward manifestation, and the personality too desires to evolve out of its unconscious conditions and to experience itself as a whole.” Carl Gustav Jung (1875 – 1961) The following passages are highlights taken from C.G. Jung’s Memories, Dreams, ReflectionsContinue reading “Carl Jung: A Journey into the Depths of the Soul”
The Psychology of Immature Femininity
In a previous post, we explored the masculine archetypes, looking at both their positive, integrated or mature aspects and negative, shadow, or immature sides. Now, we’ll take a look at feminine archetypes. Introduction It is important to note that Carl Jung did not aim to create a systematic list of all the archetypes, because thereContinue reading “The Psychology of Immature Femininity”
The Psychology of Immature Masculinity
We face a profound crisis in masculine identity, evident in the breakdown of the traditional family structure. But what lies at the heart of this crisis?
