Is magic just a less sophisticated form of psychology? That is probably the cornerstone claim of what I am calling 'Modernity's Magic'. And in the next instalment of our series 'Hospicing Modernity's Magic', I want to look at:
🤔 How psychology diverged from magic and why
🤔 Jung's role during his lifetime
🤔 What the magicians of modernity did with the 'legitimacy umbrella' they received from Jungian thought
🤔 Which parts of this journey we take with us into the magic of today
