Myth as activator…

It would not be too much to say thatmyth is the secret openingthrough which the cosmos pours forth its

inexhaustible energies into human cultural manifestation.

---Joseph Campbell

Mythology is the story.

Archetypes are the patterns.

Richard Tarnas tells us:

Planets represent the chordal structure: what we dance to.

The exact melody will be defined by the individual and collective consciousness at the time.

Then there’s Carl Jung….

• Jung’s observations on archetypes…• (Jung’s use of astrology)• Value of identifying archetypal details in dreams…

whether or not the dreamer has conscious knowledge of the archetype manifesting

• (Jung’s use of astrology’s archetypes)

Dreams can detail archetypal content

using specific symbolism of cultural deities

that areunknown to the dreamer.
