In this extraordinary two-part study-first presented as lectures at the C. G. Jung Institute in Znrich-Edgar Herzog exhumes from myth, fairytale, and folklore macabre variations of the archaic Death Image. Divided into two parts, Part I deals with ethnological and mythological material consisting of reports and traditions from around the world. This part particularly focuses on the psychological reaction to death of groups, tribes, and peoples through rites, mythological stories, and folk customs that still survive within Western culture. In Part II Herzog focuses on the dreams of patients in psychotherapy. Herzog attempts to show how these dreams reflect the processes in the development and maturation of modern individuals, in and through dreams. Every therapist will benefit from this illumination of the darkest subject of all, eternal night.>
