"Water is the commonest symbol for the unconscious."

"The descent into the depths always seems to precede the ascent."

"Archetypes resemble the beds of rivers: dried up because the water has deserted them, though it may return at any time. An archetype is something like an old watercourse along which the water of life flowed for a time, digging a deep channel for itself. The longer it flowed the deeper the channel, and the more likely it is that sooner or later the water will return."

— C.G.Jung

Water

Welcome to Supersigil's Backstage area, exclusively for NFT holders.

"The trickster is a collective shadow figure, a summation of all the inferior traits of character in individuals. And since the individual shadow is never absent as a component of personality, the collective figure can construct itself out of it continually."

— C.G.Jung

Trickster

"Psychologically, [the child is] an image of both the irrecoverable past and an anticipation of future development."

"In every adult there lurks a child–an eternal child, something that is always becoming, is never completed, and calls for unceasing care, attention, and education. That is the part of the personality which wants to develop and become whole."

"Children are in the collective unconscious until they acquire a small consciousness of their personality, until they say “I,” or “me,” or their name. They are rooted in the collective unconscious and are uprooted from it by the flood of impressions from the outside. They know everything, but they lose the memory of it."

"How am I to be creative? Nature knows only one answer to that: Through a child (the gift of love)."

— C.G.Jung

Child

"An archetypal motif based on overcoming obstacles and achieving certain goals."

"The hero’s main feat is to overcome the monster of darkness: it is the long-hoped-for and expected triumph of consciousness over the unconscious."

"Mythologically, the hero’s goal is to find the treasure, the princess, the ring, the golden egg, elixir of life, etc. Psychologically these are metaphors for one’s true feelings and unique potential"

— C.G.Jung

Hero

"Magic is a way of living. The magical opens spaces that have no doors and leads out into the open where there is no exit. We need magic to be able to receive or invoke the messenger and the communication of the incomprehensible."

— C.G.Jung

Mage

"The essential thing about birds is that they, having as their domain the air element, mediate between the earthly realm and the heaven world."

"The alchemist in observing the flight of birds, recognized in them a picture of the human soul undergoing spiritual development. The soul, aspiring upwards, flying free of the restraints of the earth bound body seeking the heavenly light, only to have to return to the earthly consciousness again after the meditation, the alchemist symbolized by the bird."

— C.G.Jung

Bird

"The branches up above are the kingdom of the heavens; the roots below form the kingdom of the earth, the nether world; and the trunk is the world axis round which the whole world revolves, and at the same time a life-giving center or the main artery of life throughout the world."

— C.G.Jung

Tree of Life

"The serpent is the earthly essence of man of which he is not conscious. The serpent has the weight of the earth in itself but also its changeability and germination from which everything that becomes emerges."

"In the age-old image of the Ouroboros lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process, for it was clear to the more astute alchemists that the prima materia of the art was man himself."

— C.G.Jung

Serpent

"We need the coldness of death to see clearly. Life wants to live and to die, to begin and to end. You are not forced to live eternally; but you can also die, since there is a will in you for both. Life and death must strike a balance in your existence."

"Joy at the smallest things comes to you only when you have accepted death. But if you look out greedily for all that you could still live, then nothing is great enough for your pleasure, and the smallest things that continue to surround you are no longer a joy."

"Therefore I behold death, since it teaches me how to live."

— C.G.Jung

Death

"The qualities associated with [the mother archetype] are maternal solicitude and sympathy; the magic authority of the female; the wisdom and spiritual exaltation that transcend reason; any helpful instinct or impulse; all that is benign, all that cherishes and sustains, that fosters growth and fertility."

"The place of magic transformation and rebirth, together with the underworld and its inhabitants, are presided over by the mother."

"On the negative side the mother archetype may connote anything secret, hidden, dark; the abyss, the world of the dead, anything that devours, seduces, and poisons, that is terrifying and inescapable like fate."

— C.G.Jung

Mother

"Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."

"The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge."

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."

— C.G.Jung

Shadow

"The Father is, by definition, the prime cause, the creator, the auctor rerum, who, on a level of culture where reflection is still unknown, can only be One. The Other follows from the One by splitting off from it."

— C.G.Jung

Father

"The inner feminine side of a man. The anima is both a personal complex and an archetypal image of woman in the male psyche. It is an unconscious factor incarnated anew in every male child, and is responsible for the mechanism of projection. Initially identified with the personal mother, the anima is later experienced not only in other women but as a pervasive influence in a man’s life. The anima is the archetype of life itself."

— C.G.Jung
