Endorsements:
“This is an important book for our time, if for no other reason than, like Jung’s Red Book, it invites
Jungian scholars and practitioners a look back to their ancestral roots.
His book is a return for a new beginning that reverses the current regression in much of Jungian
thought to psychoanalytic ideas. It offers a move into the depths ofspirit that is fraught with both
danger and opportunity. Pignatelli challenges us to heroically and creatively engage the living
primordial psyche as part of a deeply needed renaissance of Jung’s original vision in our time.”
~Veronica Goodchild, PhD, Professor of Jungian and Imaginal Studies at Pacifica Graduate
Institute, and author of Songlines of the Soul: Pathways to a New Vision for a New Century (2012),
and Eros and Chaos: The Sacred Mysteries and Dark Shadows of Love (2001, 2008).

“A fresh new, lyrical voice has emerged in the writings of Diego Pignatelli. The Primordial Psyche
carries the reader from theory to imagination, a fascinating read"
Joseph Cambray, Past IAAP President, Author of Syncronicity: Nature and Psyche in an
interconnected Universe.

Primordial Psyche is a remarkable book, covering a range of spiritual phenomena from indigenous
folk psychologies and pagan rituals to visionary revelations and magical thinking. It is rooted in
Jungian thought but supplements it with a cogent analysis of disruptions in the modern psyche that
are apparent in contemporary religious dogmas. Diego Pignatelli demonstrates the insights that have
made him one of today's most original writer;s on the complexities of the human psyche.-
- Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Saybrook University ,Co-author, Extraordinary
Dreams and How to Work with Them

"I find Diego Pignatelli's work a fine synthesis of transpersonal psychology, the mystical tradition,
and analytic psychology. I am grateful that people like Pignatelli are doing the hard work of
bringing these critical threads together in an analytic, synoptic perspective on modern personal and
cultural life".

James Hollis Ph.D., internationally renowned Jungian analyst and Author,Vice-President Emeritus
of the Philemon Foundation, and director Jungian study program at Saybrook University,San
Francisco CA.
