courses explore the role of the animal as helper
and guide in mythology, literature, folklore, and
popular culture. We study the enduring influence
and importance of the animal / human relationship,
both to ancient peoples and cultures and to twenty-first
century life. The role of the animal in the mythology
and literary traditions of various cultures including
Greco-Roman, Celtic, Native American, Hindu, Buddhist,
Judeo-Christian, and Islamic traditions is studied,
with focus on animals as guides in shamanic tradition,
animals from a depth-psychological approach as archetypal
images and reflections of our own inner nature,
and the essential presence of animals in our daily
life.
