Greetings, Exalted Ones. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Steve Ellerhoff, author of Jung and Star Wars: A Contemporary Mythology. I’m not a Jungian analyst or a psychologist; my doctorate is in literary analysis. On this podcast, we explore the resonance, wisdom, and vitality in the stories told about that galaxy far, far away. There is plenty to gain in taking Star Wars seriously as a living mythology in our own time. Join me as we plumb the depths of everyone’s favorite space opera. And May the Force be with Jung.Also available on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MayTheForceBeWithJung Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
