Aqua Aeterna: Simbolo E Mistero. WriteUp Books. 2025. Pp. 70. Pbk. €12.00.
In this richly symbolic volume, poet and Jungian-inspired author Diego Pignatelli Spinazzola explores the archetypal and alchemical meanings of the baptismal font as it appears in Jung's writings. Tracing its roots through Christian, pre-Christian, pagan, and Egyptian traditions, Pignatelli follows Jung's understanding of water as a living symbol of transformation and the divine. The text reanimates classic Jungian themes such as Gnosticism, alchemy, and the psychoid, offering a meditative engagement with the symbolic unconscious. Written in Italian, this book is theoretical and imaginal in style, not clinical. It will be of interest to those drawn to symbolic studies, alchemical motifs, and the continuing evolution of archetypal inquiry in contemporary Jungian thought.
, , & Witches, Ogres, and the Devil's Daughter: Encounters with Evil in Fairy Tales. Jungianeum. 2025. Pp. 227. Pbk. $14.98.
In another re-released classic from Jungianeum, three leading Jungian analysts, explore how figures of evil in fairy tales—witches, ogres, and demonic daughters—reflect deep psychic realities. Rather than portraying these characters as simple villains, the authors interpret them as archetypal expressions of fear, repression, and the shadow self. Through close symbolic analysis, they reveal how such figures propel the hero or heroine toward psychic growth and individuation. First published in 1992 and newly republished by JUNGIANEUM/Books, this work continues to offer invaluable insight into the transformative function of darkness in myth and psyche. It includes rich clinical and theoretical material. Essential reading for Jungians and all interested in the psychological power of folktales.
