Abstract
Vigil keeping, although an ancient ritual, has been practiced for centuries and continues to be a part of present-day life. A vigil can be experienced in a variety of ways with the common theme of waiting and watching. This article presents a brief look at the history of vigil, ways it continues in actual practice today, as well as examples of how an attitude of waiting and watching is valued in many spiritual traditions. Most significantly, this article explores the importance of holding a vigilant attitude in the work of depth psychology. Whether you are an analyst, therapist, client, one searching for meaning and/or struggling with the depths, being patient in the waiting (and vigilant in the watching) opens the door to the soul.
