This book is cool.
His middle name is Gustav, not "Gustavus". That's an amateur hour mistake. Is Gustavus even a real name?

"Gustavus" is just the Latinized version of "Gustav," so it is real.
ReplyDeleteIt just says "This video is private." :(
ReplyDeleteDing dang it! That should be fixed now. Sorry for the idiocy.
ReplyDeleteNot only is "Gustavus" a real name, it's an instituion of higher learning in south central Minnesota: Gustavus Adolphus College.
ReplyDeleteA fine school--my sister is a graduate from there.
Gustavus Adolphus was not just a namesake for colleges, but one of Sweden's most badass kings and military leaders.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's pronouced "gus-TAY-vus".
ReplyDeletethats a badass book, did you actually read the thing, or was it used mostly for the crazy illustrations
ReplyDeleteThat was a really cool video but you didn't provide a link. Who was that?
ReplyDeleteI have had a copy of The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious for many years. I was attracted by its far out weirdness. I thought I was being told secrets. It might be a more practical work to buy that the red book.

Wow! Never heard of that. I think that Aion may have come from around the same period of Jung's life - very strange read. (no cool pictures tho)
ReplyDeleteFrederick Gustavus Burnaby - of interest to all gamers.
ReplyDeleteBut Gustavus Adolphus went by Gustav except in publications, just like Hugo Grotius introduced himself in person as Huig de Groot.
" did you actually read the thing, or was it used mostly for the crazy illustrations"
ReplyDeleteI didn't have time to read much before the library wanted it back. But you can get a jist of its contents by reading Jung's shorter visionary work, Seven Sermons to the Dead, which he felt nicely encapsulated the main theme of the Red Book revelations.
Apologies! My last comment wasn't meant to sound as pretentious/douchey as it came across.
ReplyDeleteIt's just my Pavlovian response after having my sister correct me over, and over, and over...
Oh I get it. It was you Jeff. I thought you were more of dweeb.
