The Grail itself is an ancient Celtic symbol of plenty as well as a Christian symbol of redemption and eternal life, the chalice which caught the blood of the crucified Christ. The story of the Grail sheds profound light on man's search for the supreme value of life, for that which makes life most meaningful. Writing in a clear and readable style, two leading women of the Jungian school of psychology present this legend as a living myth that is meaningful to modern life. We encounter such universal figures as the Fool (the naive young~Perceval), the Wise Old Man (the Hermit Gornemanz), the Virgin Maiden (Blancheflor), the Loathly Damsel, and such important themes as the Waste Land, the Trinity, and the vessel of the Grail. Weaving together narrative and interpretation, the authors show us how the legend reflects not only fundamental human problems but also the dramatic psychic events which form the background of our Christian culture. Emma Jung, analyst, writer, and wife of the famous psychologist C.G. Jung, researched and worked on this book for thirty years, until her death in 1955. Marie~Louise von Franz, also eminent in the field of Depth Psychology, completed the project. First printed in a limited edition in 1970, this important work is now made available to the wider audience of all of those interested in psychological growth, Christian symbolism, and Arthurian lore.
