Jung's Women

Carl Jung's close circle included remarkable – even magical – women who inspired his creativity, developing and spreading his ideas. Vivianne Crowley's lecture explores the lives of three of these women – Dr Sabina Spielrein, Toni Wolff and Dr Esther Harding. Their work is at the heart of Carl Jung’s theories. One of the world’s best-known psychologists, Jung's writings on archetypes, the collective unconscious, dreams, synchronicity and spiritual alchemy are major influences on contemporary esotericism and magic. Notably, pioneers of the pagan witchcraft and goddess spirituality revivals found inspiration in Jung's insights into the importance of the Divine Feminine, the Goddess. This is the second in a three-lecture series on Jung and his close collaborators.
