Jung spoke of the exiled gods, of the “irrational,” of magic, and of our modern attempt to ‘straighten things up’ with logic. In doing so, we have fostered collective neuroses and caused ecological collapse. What has become of the psyche’s connection to the world at large? This work seeks to understand the early split between the archaic and modern psyche, as conceptualized by Jung, using the story of the death of the great god Pan as an entry point. By revisiting these archaic ways of relating to “forces from within as well as from without” (Jung, CW18, para. 553), we can reclaim wisdom that illuminates both our inner lives and the broader world, offering guidance for contemporary healing and integration.
