Mythology of The Soul

I was in a  library dedicated to  archives of Joseph Campbell, Marjita Gimbutas, James Hillman, and  Joseph Wheelwright to name a few.  What  I found compelling  was to peruse the actual personal collections that these writers utilized to  develop their own thinking.  Who did they lean on, confer with, dispute  with or extend their own dream through?  

In writing my own book I am always searching for  minds that traveled in a similar territories in like and different ways. When I saw this book  I needed to photograph it. I was unfamiliar with Baynes, and discovered later  he was a Jungian Analyst and translator of  some essential volumes of Jung. But it was his book that jumped out of the shelves into my hands. 

I found a  book review in response to the publishing of the  first edition in July 1940. It appears that Baynes understood the  both generative and integrative  power of creating one’s story.  There is an uncommon clarity born of rendering in some form; (whether through art, music, language, movement), the ever evolving personal mythology of the self. No wonder why I was drawn to this.
