Carrie Dohe
I am currently working as a postdoctoral research associate under a second research grant from the University of Toronto’s School of the Environment.
This research project is taking the information gained during my work with the Department of the Study of Religions at the University of Marburg, and narrowing the focus to a more practical implementation of interfaith cooperation on environmental protections.
This project, called “Bees for Peace”, seeks to mobilize faith communities to protect bees while promoting a more peaceful coexistence through interfaith cooperation.

to create the arts of culture. The analysis then moves to the ‘‘Wotan’’ essay itself, where Jung brings together his own theory of psychic seizure with the theory of the original religious experience as proposed by the above-named scholars of religion in order to suggest that, under National Socialism, the Germans were in the midst of a collective confrontation with their own inner divinity, which should lead to a national spiritual rebirth. The article then investigates the works of several of themen Jung mentions in the essay, as well as his use of ancient Germanic mythology, to support his claim. Through his portrait
of the Germanic archetype Wotan, Jung psychologizes and thereby essentializes the Romantic image of the Germans as ‘‘a people of poets and philosophers’’ as well as that of a Nietzschean ‘‘master-race.’’ In conclusion, the article argues that, at least in 1936, Jung’s attitude towards Hitler and National Socialism was much more favorable than has previously been recognized.
PLEASE NOTE: This article has been exapnded and revised as chapter 6 of my book, "Jung's Wandering Archetype: Race and Religion in Analytical Psychology".
A much expanded version of this paper can be found in ch. 3 of my book, "Jung's Wandering Archetype: Race and Religion in Analytical Psychology” (Routledge 2016).
