Longfellow based “The Song of Hiawatha” on folk tales written a generation earlier by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft. Schoolcraft lived among the Iroquois They had oral traditions of a legendary Iroquois named “Hiawatha.” The book brings together Jung's essays on general questions of analytic therapy and dream analysis. It also contains his profoundly interesting parallel between the transference phenomena and alchemical processes. The transference is illustrated and interpreted with a set of symbolic pictures, and the bond between psychotherapist and patient is shown to be a function of the kinship libido. Far from being pathological in its effects, kinship libido has an essential role to play in the work of individuation and in establishing an organic society based on the psychic connection of its members with one another and with their own roots.

Several years ago, when I read Anatomy of Story for the first time, the chapter on character had a fairly in-depth section on archetypes and the importance of knowing which archetypes your characters embodied, whether in their positive or their negative form. This was only the most recent and relevant case of my brush with the topic of archetypes to which Carl Jung has contributed so much. I made a mental note to dig into Jung at some point in the not-too-distant future. It took me three years, but here I am having just completed my first foray into Jung's immense bibliography. Particularly intriguing were the fantasies of an American woman, known here only as Frank Miller. If the encyclopedic knowledge of mythology, literature and psychology that Jung brings to bear on his subject weren’t enough, Jung makes remarkable connections from that mythology to Miss Miller’s dreams. Most intriguing, however, was the note of warning that sounds throughout the book. Tangling with the mythological and eternal content in one’s psyche is not some magical cure for all one’s ills. It’s more accurate to say that it’s a test that we can either pass or fail. Introversion and self-reflection can be unbelievably useful but only if we actually apply it to our lives and learn to integrate it into our personalities. Otherwise we become completely un-moored from life and wither away. This book was dense and harrowing reading but it was utterly invaluable. This implies transformation as well as the washing away of sin. You start afresh and get a clean slate. If one often dreams of snakes, it can imply rejuvenation and the potential for growth. It can also imply upcoming positive life experiences. 5. Frog Frog
