Alchemy on Pinterest. Jung and Buddhism. In the course of its introduction to European civilization, Buddhism has been interpreted by its Western translators in a wide variety of ways, ranging from wild distortions to increasingly accurate and subtle translations.
One of its earlier and better-known interpreters has been Carl Jung, and the school of psychodynamic psychology that he founded has continued to engage Buddhism both as a psychology/practice and as theory. Insofar as they bring considerable conceptual and theoretical background to bear on the issue, Jung and Jungian thought present significant commentary in the interpretation of Buddhism -- particularly Zen and Vajrayana -- and are therefore of importance in understanding and clarifying some of the distortions that arise in the encounter.
In addition, it appears that contemporary popular religious vernacular has to a significant extent borrowed its terminology from psychology. The Arcane Archive - View forum - The Main Rooms. Art Gallery & Web Services. Carl Jung and Tarot. Although many tarot practitioners apply a Jungian psychological approach to their tarot work, there’s been a question as to whether Jung himself knew anything about tarot.
In fact he did, and he would have liked to explore it more deeply but for a lack of hours in the day. Here are some of his references to the cards, although his tarot knowledge, especially of its history, was sorely lacking. Update: I’ve added brief notes by Jung on the Major Arcana here.

During the 18th century it was suggested that the author of the works attributed to Basil Valentine was Johann Thölde, a salt manufacturer in Germany who lived roughly 1565–1624,.[2][3] Modern scholarship now suggests that one author was Thölde, but that others were involved. Thölde published the first five books under Valentine's name.[4] Whoever he was, Basil Valentine had considerable chemical knowledge. <b>Alchemical Texts</b> - Alchemy Forums. Article from PHILOSOPHY PATHWAYS Issue 99. The Gospel of Jesus' Wife only proves our obsession with Mary Magdalene - National Gnosticism & Heretical Spirituality. The recently publicized Gospel of Jesus’ Wife has ignited a storm across academia and Christian communities alike.
The papyrus scrap, where Jesus mentions having a wife in one of many fragmented passages, resuscitated such hot-button, religious topics as celibacy, sexuality, women’s roles, and canonical supremacy versus apocryphal relevance (issues just as provocative in ancient times as today). List of death deities. Deities associated with death take many different forms, depending on the specific culture and religion being referenced.
Psychopomps, deities of the underworld, and resurrection deities are commonly called death deities in comparative religions texts. The term colloquially refers to deities that either collect or rule over the dead, rather than those deities who determine the time of death. However, all these types will be included in this article. Many have incorporated a god of death into their mythology or religion. As death, along with birth, is among the major parts of human life, these deities may often be one of the most important deities of a religion.

Alchemy Magic and Kabbalah Foundation of the Works of CGJung - Content. Lilith. Lilith (Hebrew: לילית; lilit, or lilith) is a Hebrew name for a figure in Jewish mythology, developed earliest in the Babylonian Talmud, who is generally thought to be in part derived from a class of female demons Līlīṯu in Mesopotamian texts of Assyria and Babylonia. Evidence in later Jewish materials is plentiful, but little information has been found relating to the original Akkadian and Babylonian view of these demons. The relevance of two sources previously used to connect the Jewish Lilith to an Akkadian Lilitu—the Gilgamesh appendix and the Arslan Tash amulets—are now both disputed by recent scholarship.[1] The two problematic sources are discussed below.[2] The Hebrew term Lilith or "Lilit" (translated as "Night creatures", "night monster", "night hag", or "screech owl") first occurs in Isaiah 34:14, either singular or plural according to variations in the earliest manuscripts, though in a list of animals.
