ABSTRACT
C.G. Jung lived and worked as an explorer of the whole psyche. He believed that by seeking out the mind's margins, and the mysteries of the unconscious, not only the individual, but also culture could be healed. It is therefore unsurprising that Jung as a writer aims to be the scribe of irrational, creative and numinous dimensions of being.1 The Collected Works are a record of a lifelong descent into the depths. They are a harvest of compositions re¯ecting the diversity of archetypal imprints. While Jung's writings describe a coherent psychology, they are also the harbour for many spectral voices. To this tension between oneness of meaning and a plurality of possibilities, I will return.
