A young woman on pilgrimage gets lost and falls asleep under a tree. At midnight, she awakens in the arms “of the one I love most”. Like the Song of Songs, we can interpret it as a love song or as an allegory of the soul’s mystical awakening. In such an experience, “we catch a glimpse of the ancient role of Hermes as the god of revelation” (Jung, CW 13, § 256). We will listen to the song in a beautiful version by Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones.
