I recently perused Jung’s Psychology and Alchemy from the collected works series and it sparked an interest in better understanding my own dreaming. The main ideas I’ve been pursuing have been the integration of the elements of the self, and the exploration of the foundation and personal/collective unconscious.
The ideas in Jung’s Psychology and Alchemy have influenced my druidry in that they’ve given me a kind of roadmap to follow with dream analysis and guidance, especially in connection my my anima, shadow, and sage aspects.
I generally identify my anima as a spark of fire light, often in the form of a lantern, but occasionally in the form of a young woman, my shadow has evolved into the form of a crow, though sometimes they are a well dressed and refined man, and my sage tends toward coming as images of a stag or oak tree, and on occasion, a bearded woodsman with a robe and staff, carrying the lantern I associated with my anima.
