The modern notion of a #philosopher is that of an academic, dry-as-dust rationalist. The early tradition of philosophy was anything but that. Philosophers were visionaries, quite similar to the great Hebrew prophets.

From tragedy, healing is born. Asklepios, pulled from his dead mother’s womb, embodies the wounded healer.

In Greek mythology, the crow (corvus) symbolizes the soul’s descent into darkness.

After Apollo learns of Coronis’ betrayal, the crow turns black, embodying the painful truth.

Its transformation mirrors our journey of facing suffering and embracing change. #AnatomyOfThePsyche #EdwardEdinger
