Carl Jung Correspondances

by Tag Barbarason

One of the greatst minds in Germanic history was that of the Swss psychologist Carl Jung. Virtually starting from scratch, he created a system of psychological reference that in many ways closely parallels ancient Germanic thinking about self and soul. ( In Heathen terms he dipped deeply into Mimir's well.) Here's a chart comparing various schools of thought, Heathen and Jungian with Hinduism and the Kitchen Sink tossed in. Please take the whole thing with a grain or three of salt. If anyone has any additions or corrections, please let me know.
