"An accessible introduction to the uses of Jung in reading the Bible". -- Shofar
Here is a polytheistic theology that is psychological, iconoclastic, and gnostic and views the mythos of gods and goddesses imaginally, as a theologica imaginalis, a perspective for which Gaston Bachelard and Henry Corbin laid the philosophical foundation. This newly revised edition includes a Prefatory Letter by Henry Corbin and a Postscript by James Hillman.
This book provides a demonstration that the difficult notion of the Trinity is alive and well, although not in places that one may have expected. It flourishes in a mythology recovered from an ancient pagan past and, surprisingly, in secular poetry and drama of our own time, even though it is often neglected in popular piety and in academic theology.
A deeply thoughtful, deeply irreverent look at the mythology of play, Gods and Games ties together Joseph Campbell's approach to myth and religion with Johan Huizinga's view of our species as Homo ludens — "Man the Game-player" — which suggests that play is a central aspect of the human spirit and human culture. "A comprehensive and clear review.... loaded with quotations both pertinent and entertaining that may be eye-openers both to traditional religionists and readers who may never have thought about play in a philosophical or religious sense." —Publishers Weekly

Because we are like small rational riders astride enormous emotional elephants, leaders must learn how to sing to elephants even as they speak to riders. In The Irrational David: The Power of Poetic Leadership, Ken invites you to sing. Through his work with poet David Whyte, Ken explores poetic leadership in King David, a fully human, irrational leader who knew how to stir people with song. In four sect...
A living relationship with the wild natural world is our birthright as human beings. But centuries of civilization, patriarchy, transcendental monotheism, reductionist science, and capitalism have broken the connection between humankind and nature. To be Neo-Pagan today is to reclaim our original relation with the world. It is nothing more and nothing less than to be fully human again. To (re-)learn what this means, we need to strip away the layers of estrangement that have accreted to our collective soul over the centuries. So we look back to our pagan ancestors. Though separated by time, there is a connection between us and them. We carry it in our flesh and blood. At our most fundamental, we are still the same human beings we were then. We can be pagan again today because we live under the same Sun and on the same Earth, we feel the same wind blowing through our hair and the same rain falling on our skin.
A reflection on the twin notions of Christ's descent into the underworld and on the belief in life after death. We may be amazed to discover how these seemingly obsolete notions, if understood metaphorically rather than literally, can illuminate and deep
