Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents Barbara Hannah's Jung Institute lectures of 1954-58 on the archetypal symbolism of seven animals. It builds upon her earlier Cat, Dog, and Horse Lectures, adding her work on the serpent, lion, bull, and cow. Hannah discusses the images of these seven animals in the psychological and cultural life of the Western world, clarifying, deepening, and expanding her earlier work, and synthesizing her various introductions to the topic.
