Archetypal Cosmology
and Depth Psychology: Selected Essays, by Keiron Le Grice (Jan 2021)
 In
this selection of seminal essays, Keiron Le Grice introduces archetypal
cosmology, the academic field centered on the practice of archetypal
astrology. Exploring its relationship to science and the modern worldview,
its basis in the psychology of C. G. Jung, and its development in the
twentieth century, Part One tackles fundamental theoretical and empirical
issues raised by astrology. Part Two illustrates how we can
use archetypal astrology to better understand ourselves and the place of the
unconscious psyche in human experience. Discussing the life and work of Jung,
Nietzsche, and others, it shows how archetypal astrology can help
to illuminate not only individual lives but also the evolution of
religious consciousness and conceptions of the divine.

The Rebirth of
the Hero: Mythology as a Guide to Spiritual Transformation, by Keiron Le
Grice (March 2021)
 The portrayal of the hero in classical myths
and modern films continues to exert a compelling influence on the collective
imagination, entertaining and inspiring audiences the world over. On a deeper
level, the myth of the hero’s adventure is recognized as a fundamental
pattern of human experience itself, a symbolic expression of the individual’s
struggle for greater consciousness, psychological wholeness, and spiritual
realization. In The Rebirth of the
Hero, Keiron Le Grice draws on the ideas and life experiences of C. G.
Jung, Joseph Campbell, and Friedrich Nietzsche to explore the spiritual
journey of the modern self, from existential crisis and the “awakening of the
self” to the dramatic encounter with the underworld of the psyche and the
arduous labor of spiritual transformation. In a work of wide-ranging scope
and insight, Le Grice analyzes scenes from a number of popular films—Jason and the Argonauts, Star Wars, The
Lord of the Rings, Pan’s Labyrinth, and more—to illuminate the themes and
stages of psychospiritual rebirth and individuation, helping to make the
deepest of transformative experiences more readily intelligible to us all.
Drawing interchangeably on classical Greek myths, Christianity, alchemy,
Romanticism, and depth psychology, the author also relates the individual’s
personal journey of transformation to the relationship in Western
civilization between spirit and nature, reason and instinct, and masculine
and feminine. In so doing, The Rebirth
of the Hero demonstrates the critical significance of the archetypal
pattern of the hero not only for the individual, but also for cultural
renewal and the wider spiritual transformation of our time.

Archetypal
Reflections: Insights and Ideas from Jungian Psychology, by Keiron Le Grice
(Jan 2021)
 In
this book Keiron Le Grice shares his expertise in depth psychology and its central
preoccupation: the workings of the unconscious mind. Adapted from his
teaching, Archetypal Reflections provides concise paragraph-length analyses
and explanations of a wide range of topics, focusing on the work of C. G.
Jung and other influential figures such as Nietzsche, Freud, Campbell, and
Hillman. Addressing in detail Jung’s theories of archetypes, individuation,
the Self, and synchronicity, Le Grice also explores a number of other
fascinating topics such as the role of the
unconscious and myth in modern culture, the evolution of consciousness
and civilization, the quest for spiritual meaning in a secular age, and the
intersection of depth psychology and the new sciences. The primary concern
throughout is the capacity of depth psychology to inform and transform our
worldview, offering a way to better understand the deeper patterns and powers
that shape our experience.
