Carl Jung wrote, “One without a myth … is like one uprooted, having no true link either with the past, or with the ancestral life which continues within him, or yet with contemporary human society.” In his profound, magical memoir, Soror Mystica, noted Jungian scholar Dr. Mathew Mather lays out what finding, reclaiming, and living the mythic can be.

Framed through a yearly Tarot card pull, Mather’s candid observations of his own life and the world around him reveal surprising synchronicities and profound insights into the soul and the great work of alchemy, as well as the enduring and living relevance of Carl Jung.
