I'll start out by sharing with you that I'm not a Jungian analyst and I have absolutely no formal training in Jungian analysis...

When it comes to Jungian and/or Archetypal Psychology, I'm simply a self-educated "layperson" that's been voraciously consuming the writings of Dr. Carl G Jung and other Jungian and Archetypal writers for the past 30 years or so.

Here are the two bookcases in my home study devoted to Jung's writings along with other Jungian authors and/or related archetypal resources.

I do have earned degrees in the disciplines of theology and jurisprudence, as well as, 50+ hours in undergraduate and graduate psychology and counseling courses. And, over the years, I have been fortunate enough to attend lectures and seminars presented by leading Jungian analysts and/or writers.

However - when it's all said and done - I'm just a guy that (while on his own personal journey) got interested in another guy named Dr Carl G Jung.

Strange but true, it was my studies of Jung's writings that eventually led directly to my current interest and expertise in the subject of Western Tropical Astrology.

In 1996, when starting up my archetypal astrology site - The Zodiac Master - I noticed there appeared to be a dearth of basic information on the internet about Jung and Jungian Depth Psychology.

So I created a small, mostly separate, section of my astrology site devoted to Jung and Jungian Psychology.

As clearly stated on the opening page of Unus Mundus: "The scattered information and ideas shared on these few pages are meant to be little more than a very small, but delicious taste of Jung's ideas... and it is certainly not meant to be a scholarly treatise and/or final word on any of the concepts briefly shared."

The great news is that nowadays Jungian type folks (with actual credentials) are increasingly showing up with sites, blogs, and such.

Sincerely,
