Creation Myths by Marie-Louise von Franz
A Jungian exploration of cosmogonic tales from diverse cultures that traces recurring archetypal patterns—earth-diver and world-parent motifs, the separation of heaven and earth, twin births and divine marriages—and interprets them as symbolic expressions of psychic processes. The essays read myths as projections of inner transformations, showing how creation stories map the emergence of order from chaos, the interplay of opposites, and stages of individual and collective development. Using comparative mythology and dream-analysis, the work illuminates how these ancient narratives continue to shape human psychological life and the journey toward wholeness.
