Description
Pan and the Nightmare by Wilhelm Heinrich Hillman Roscher and James Hillman This thought-provoking book brings the myth of Pan back to life, exploring how the gods can become our deepest psychological struggles. Drawing on C.G. Jung's concept that the divine has become a manifestation of our inner demons, the authors examine various themes such as nightmares, instinct, synchronicity, and the darker aspects of human desire. Through a detailed analysis of mythological figures like Pan and his female lovers, the book sheds light on the complex drives and passions that shape our lives. A key component is EPHIALTES, Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher's 19th-century treatise on Pan and the night demons, which has been fully translated for this edition. By exploring these dark and creative forces, Pan and the Nightmare offers a unique perspective on the human psyche, one that can help readers better understand their own inner struggles.
