Think of this book as a psychic box of matches and candles., January 8, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Divine Tempest: The Hurricane As a Psychic Phenomenon (Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts) (Paperback)
"Divine Tempest: The Hurricane As a Psychic Phenomenon," by David E. Scheon (Sudies in Jungian Psychology by a Certified Jungian Analysts) Jungian analyst David Schoen who practices in Covington, Louisiana, is literally writing up a storm in this study of hurricanes, which is very accessible and lively. Schoen describes how we dream of hurricanes, dread them, and secretly anticipate them, as well as providing a fascinating mythological and archetypal context for these terrifying-and purifying-storms. (There are some perhaps unintentionally amusing moments: Does Nash Roberts, a famous Gulf Coast meteorologist, have such success forecasting hurricanes because he was a "veil baby"? Did Hurricane Audrey's destruction of Cameron, Louisiana fish processing plant really provide an "opportunity for rebirth" for the 450 convicts who vanished afterward?) Hurricanes-and psychic storms-are inevitable. Think of this book as a psychic box of matches and candles.
