“This is a story about a nearly 100-year-old book, bound in red leather, which has spent the last quarter century secreted away in a bank vault in Switzerland. The book is big and heavy and its spine is etched with gold letters that say “Liber Novus,” which is Latin for “New Book.” Its pages are made from thick cream-colored parchment and filled with paintings of otherworldly creatures and handwritten dialogues with gods and devils. If you didn’t know the book’s vintage, you might confuse it for a lost medieval tome…”
From The Holy Grail Of The Unconscious, fab article about Jung’s controversial “new” book…Jung was a Leo btw….Mars goes into Leo for months on end and WHAM – he gets a hugely cover-priced but bound-to-be publicised & big-selling (or at least widely reviewed) book out.
I LOVE his work and ideas (he studies astrology, Tarot and the I-Ching as well as classical psychology) but this book is bloody well $320. No I did not expect to see it on a discount table at the mall but still…Some say that nobody should read it, that it’s too bats. But others that it will prove to be the most important book ever written. Thoughts? Can someone please read it and provide a quickie summary lol?
