Abstract

This article explores the linked themes of the descent into hell and divine madness, as articulated in Jung’s self-explorations between 1913 and 1930 and as portrayed in his Liber Novus: The Red Book, situating these with the history of these notions. This in turn open the question of the relation between Jung’s visionary experiences and his subsequent conceptual elaborations in his exoteric scholarly works. KEY WORDS Liber Novus, The Red Book, hell, divine madness, visionary experiences, esotericism, Jung, Blake, Dante, Swedenborg.
