This volume contains examples of the studies dealing with psychic phenomena characteristic of the “Collective Unconscious” for which Professor Jung has become so well known, and which are exceedingly interesting and informative. The work as a whole represents an enormous amount of research and thought. It is presented in five parts in essays. The first deals with the universal psyche in fairy tales and the second with the different aspects and applications of the spirit of mercurious through the ages. The third part entitled “The Figure of Satan in the Old Testament” comprising about a third of the book, is a special study by Dr. Rirokah Schàrf. The fourth part presents an attempt at a psychological explanation of Trinity dogmas, and the fifth part explains the psychology of oriental meditation. The vast amount of philological, ethnological, historical and psychlogical material in this volume will compensate amply
