In the Fall of 1972, I did a seminar on Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars for the Jung Club in Los Angeles. At the time, this was considered an odd topic for a very classical Jungian group. My point in doing the seminar was to illustrate that myth was not something only from past cultures (Greek, Roman, etc.), but was fully alive in our own culture in our own time. including the birth of new myths. But this very aliveness often prevents us from seeing it. What I was doing with David Bowie's Ziggy was two things: (1) myth was alive in popular culture as evidenced by the music on this album, and (2) that the psyche of the creator (in this case David Bowie) would be expressing and creating from the deep psyche in the future and it would be a good idea to keep an eye on David Bowie and his work. It is wonderful to see Ann Casement's focus on David Bowie along with other contributors to this work and its relevance to Jungian psychoanalysis.
