SUSAN BURNSTINE – WHERE SHADOWS CEASE
2021-05-24The collective unconscious suggests that repeated patterns originating from ancestral archetypes are reproduced in religion, literature, myths and dreams as a means to provide insights into cultural perceptions and beliefs. Even when a system of beliefs is no longer accepted as true, lore can persist as a means to communicate cultural values.
