The Splendor of the Maya Volume 23

""Nancy Swift Furlotti's pioneering The Splendor of the Maya is itself a splendor. The invisible energies that swirl through history and each of us are only available to consciousness when it enters image. She provides a sturdy bridge to the history and culture of the Maya and links us to their effort to make sense of their time, their geography, their aspirations. For all their seeming remoteness, her work illumines our kinship with this rich and sophisticated culture.""--James Hollis, Jungian analyst and author of Living with Borrowed Dust: Reffections on Life, Love, and Other Grievances --James Hollis ""A useful, comprehensive introduction to the interrelationships of depth psychology and myth, to the cultural world of the Mayans (including the intricacies of their sacred calendars), and to the Popul Vuh--one of the most enigmatic, majestic creation epics in all of World Literature.""--Evans Lansing Smith, Professor of Mythological Studies Pacifica Graduate Institute--Evans Lansing Smith ""One of the foremost practitioners working in the field of Jungian psychology today, Nancy Swift Furlotti has always been keenly aware of the importance of often neglected indigenous mythologies to the ongoing creation of consciousness. In her masterwork, The Splendor of the Maya, she explicates a pathway to a greater understanding of the objective psyche that emerges from the misty Central American dawn and illuminates worlds both old and new.""--Frank N.
