“The Raven”: A tale of Abandonment, Loss and Self-realisation
Ann Yeoman, PhD
Jungian Analyst (Zürich)
All fairy-tales, according to Marie-Louise von Franz, concern the process of individuation. Most fairy-tales provide a vignette of one particular stage in the life-long process of individuation. “The Raven”, however, is surprisingly long, meandering, challenging, and fascinating. It strikes many readers as an amalgam of a number of familiar fairy-tale motifs, as we encounter an enchanted princess, a witchy old woman who lives deep in the woods, giants, unreachable castles atop glass mountains, robbers and more. Our tale is long and meandering because it addresses the long, meandering, and difficult task of realising and bringing into life the ‘personal spirit’ that has suffered early, pre-verbal trauma and gone into hiding. “The Raven” explores the extraordinarily complex process of ‘redeeming’ the personal spirit, enabling it to become an integral part of the conscious personality. The tale is endlessly rewarding; it opens the reader to a deeper understanding of the mysteries and dynamics of the psyche at each reading. Ann invites us to join her on a journey of discovery as we plumb the depths of this tale together.
Ann Yeoman graduated from the C.G. Jung Institute, Zürich, is a member of IAAP, and currently lives and practises in Devon, UK. Before returning ‘home’ to Devon in 2008, she worked as Dean of Students at New College, University of Toronto, where she also designed and taught a suite of courses in Jungian Studies. Ann has lectured and offered workshops internationally; she is the author of Now or Neverland: Peter Pan and the myth of eternal youth (Inner City Books); and, with Kevin Lu, C.G. Jung’s Collected Works: The Basics, available December, 2023 as part of The Basics Series published by Routledge. Ann has an abiding interest in the endless possibilities of meaning and wisdom to be mined through the study of all products of psyche, with a soft spot for the fairy-tale.
