“Pantheon of Paradoxes”:
Archetypal Imagery in the Ancient Egyptian Pantheon
November 20, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Prepaid Cost: $20.00 – $25.00Event Navigation
Jacqueline Thurston, M.A.
Friday, November 20, 2020; 7:30-9:30 pm Pacific Time.
Jung’s understanding of synchronicity, the intersection between the inner world of dreams and the imagination and the outer physical world, and his exploration of cultural and personal archetypal imagery both inform and guide this presentation.
Drawing from images from Thurston’s book Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt, we will examine the archetypal nature of the divine feminine and the divine masculine, with attention to the presence of dualities and opposites contained within a single deity, and to the role paradox plays in the dynamic relationships between individual deities. We will explore how the vicissitudes of nature, such as our current pandemic, shaped the very essence of the gods of ancient Egypt. Our contemporary interest in gender and identity makes the exploration of attributes of both feminine and masculine deities in the ancient Egyptian pantheon both intriguing, informative, and relevant.
