Chiron Publications C. G. Jung as Artisan: Considerations in Times of Crisis

Review "It is the extraordinary achievement of Jung as Artisan to take up where Jung left off in his alchemical, astrological, dreaming, wood carving, stone carving, painting, sketching, expansive writing, etc., intimations of wholeness and interdependence. Going deeply into Jung's actual voyages beyond Europe, Rand makes them into a relinquishment of Eurocentrism. She connects esoteric Jung to pragmatic theorist Jung to artisan Jung, he who offers the twenty-first century a practice and a way. Through Jung as Artisan, we make our painful way to a new cosmovision."-Susan Rowland, PhD, Professor, Depth Psychology and Archetypal Studies, Pacifica Graduate Institute, California Author of Jungian Arts-Based Research and the Nuclear Enchantment of New Mexico, 2021"Dr. Rand's experience as a depth psychologist, traveller, teacher, and artisan come together in this masterpiece of trans-disciplinary connections that allow for the emergence of a unique perspective which is both profound and timely. Weaving together personal experiences, academic research and highly cultivated insights, the author creates detailed links between depth psychology, modern quantum physics, artisan-based activities and pressing social issues. The importance of creating art with our hands is emphasized as being a key factor to assist through times of darkness and disintegration in order to allow for the emergence of new attitudes that can re-enchant ourselves and the world that we want to create and contribute to. Dr Rand's voice is an urgent call to personal responsibility as we enter an age of individuality."-Duanita G. Eleniak, PhD, Art Therapist, Social Worker, Philosopher of Consciousness Studies"Dr. Rand's masterpiece, Considerations in Times of Crisis, lets me, the reader, experience the excitement and terror of living life in interconnected worlds. Following threads of her own life, Dr. Rand lovingly weaves a rich tapestry and lets us feel the uncomfortable tensions between and amongst its layers. Her insights, filtered through a canopy of cultural diversity, richly nourish the reader throughout."-Eberhard Riedel, PhDAuthor of Collective Trauma: A Human Ecosystems Perspective (2020)"In C. G. Jung as Artisan, Evangeline Rand takes the reader on a remarkable tour through the psychology of C. G. Jung, on a route that runs from the spice trade and Indian textile art to quantum mechanics. Her command of such wide-ranging material is impressive, and she presents it with grace and style. A pleasure to read as well as to learn from. Highly recommended."-George Hogenson, PhDJungian Analyst Product Description C. G. Jung as Artisan: Cross Connections with India, Considerations in Times of Crisis is a richly illustrated, carefully interwoven tapestry of cosmological cycles with depths of travelling, trade, and commercial significance through geographical history and politics, and the spread of philosophical, religious, and scientific ideas. Travel as alchemical exploration, in particular the journey through the difficult passage of the Isthmus of Suez and the later Suez Canal-ancient and contemporary mercurial transitional pivot between East and West with Alexandrian highlights, was crucial to Jung's opus.
