Saturday workshop: The Queen of Sheba and Her Hairy Legs: The Reparation and Integration of the Exiled Feminine In Western Monotheism and Jungian Analytic Practice
Jung writes in Volume 9i that the loss of an archetype, “gives rise to that frightening discontent in our culture”. (par. 141) In this seminar we will take up the topic of the erotic feminine as an aspect of the Archetypal Feminine through the image of the Queen of Sheba and her encounter with King Solomon. Sheba is an excellent portal in which to view and discuss what has become rejected, repressed, and dissociated in our own nature as men and woman. An aspect of the lore of the Queen of Sheba presents her as a powerful and beautiful ruler but with hairy legs. We will take up the image of her hairiness as shadow, that which has been split off, and the possibility of making what has been unconscious,
conscious, what has been forgotten, remembered.
Clinical material, dreams, poetry and music will amplify an engagement with this rich symbolic material. While the emphasis of this seminar will be on a personal engagement, it seems essential that we keep an eye towards its spiritual necessity in the world today.
Learning Objectives
1. To review CG Jung’s model of the psyche (ego, shadow, anima, animus, persona, Self) and their application and implications for Jung’s process of individuation.
2. To define Jung’s concepts of Archetypes and the Objective Psyche as an expression of the “mythological unconscious”.
3. To explore Jung’s concept of the archetypal image, in particular, the Queen of Sheba in order to better understand the impact of archetypal energies on the process of healing and transformation.
4. To briefly define Jung’s theory of complexes and their relationship to dissociation in the personality. How might the condition of “hairy legs” be viewed as complex or as shadow.
5. To consider the psychological impact both subjectively and collectively of the dissociated aspect of the erotic feminine. The image of the Queen of Sheba will be the center point for clinical case material including dreams and poetry.
