New article: "Healing Symbolism in the Japanese Legend of the Woman Diver"
Sydney Solis interviewed me during her most recent sojourn in Japan. I summarize a legend of a woman diver and its ancient history, based on original source research all in Japanese. Then we both interpret its rich symbolism in terms of depth psychology. Among our conclusions is that archetypes in the story, such as the divine feminine, activated by the natural symbolism of diving into the depths, could help heal our modern alienation of the mind from the body and nature.
Just the story and analysis:
