The story of the Horned God can be heard in various mythologies
from around the world and like the Goddess he has become part of
our psychological and spiritual heritage. Alan Richardson revisits
his previous work on the male mysteries, Earth God Rising, adding a
new commentary alongside the original text. Readers of Alan
Richardson have come to love his sartorial wit, honest assessment
and fresh exploration. His expertise on magical matters and its
practitioners make for an insightful commentary on male deity - but
always prodding readers to forge their own paths and make up their
own minds. Earth God Risen is a tour through the origins and
archetypes of male spirituality for both new seekers and seasoned
practitioners (of both sexes).
The medieval alchemists were as interested in the discipline of
psychological and spiritual transformation as they were in the
transmutation of lead into gold. In fact, Jung's study of
alchemical texts uncovered a symbolic language that expressed many
of his own insights into psychological processes. Here, von Franz
examines texts by the 16th-century alchemist Gerhard Dorn, to show
the relationship between alchemy and analytical psychology.
