Carl Gustav Jung, one of the prominent psychoanalysts of the 20th century, held a deep interest in fields such as mysticism, alchemy, mystical symbols, and of course, witchcraft.
However, unlike prevailing approaches, Jung did not see witchcraft as a purely supernatural phenomenon, but rather as a symbolic expression of profound psychological processes that occur within the human psyche.
Jung, who was a close colleague of Freud early in his career, eventually developed a separate and original psychological school — “Analytical Psychology” or “Jungian” — which focused on the study of the collective unconscious, archetypes, and deep processes within the psyche.
His approach, although academic and respected, is considered less accepted as a practical therapeutic tool, yet its influence continues to resonate in the realms of spirituality, mysticism, and philosophy.
Witchcraft as a Psychological Symbol
Jung did not engage with witchcraft as a physical, supernatural act, but rather saw it as an ancient language expressing the processes of the psyche. Witchcraft, like alchemy, was perceived by him as a symbol of an internal process — a search for self-wholeness and the transformation of psychic material.
The witch, for example, represents the archetype of wild, and sometimes threatening femininity; what Jung called the ”feminine shadow.”
The Shadow, the Witch, and the Dark Forces Within Us
For Jung, the witch is not just a legendary figure, but an inner mirror. She symbolizes those unconscious parts that we repress: fears, desires, inner chaos, and sometimes also the unanalyzed emotional power.
Her appearance in dreams or imagination is a call to confront the “shadow” — the dark and incomprehensible side of our personality. Ignoring it can lead to psychological imbalance, while conscious engagement can lead to growth and inner transformation.
Alchemy and Witchcraft – An Internal Process
Jung extensively studied alchemy and saw it as a symbolic reflection of the psychological process of individuation — the development of psychic wholeness.
In his view, alchemical writings and witchcraft do not reflect actual physical processes, but rather conscious ones. They are an expression of deep internal processes that occurred in human life, even before the emergence of modern psychology.
Witchcraft as Ancient Knowledge
For Jung, witchcraft traditions were not primitive or superficial, but carried ancient wisdom. They often included deep psychological insights, expressed symbolically, mystically, or ritually. Witchcraft was not perceived by him as a ridiculous belief but as an ancient language of the psyche — a language that modern science has not yet fully replaced.
The Witch: Archetype of Anima, Shadow, and Wild Femininity
The witch, as a mystical figure, expresses different aspects of the female psyche — intuitiveness, mysterious wisdom, and sometimes also dangerous sexuality. Jung did not classify her as a good or bad figure, but as a figure that invites us to look inward, to recognize our repressed fears and impulses.
The Magus – The Figure of the Inner Sorcerer
Like the witch, the sorcerer or “magus” is also an important archetype. He represents ancient knowledge, an inner guide, and sometimes even symbolizes temptation and pride. His appearance can be a call to connect with inner wisdom, but also a warning against surrendering to illusions of control.
Witchcraft Rituals – A Bridge Between Conscious and Unconscious
Witchcraft rituals, especially those laden with symbolic meaning, constitute, according to Jung, a “container” for powerful psychological processes.
They allow for bridging between the conscious and the unconscious and can help cope with anxieties, changes, or life crises, long before the emergence of scientific psychological language.
Summary: Between Mysticism and Psychology
In Jung’s view, witchcraft is not just a popular belief or a supernatural phenomenon. It is a powerful expression of the psyche, of our emotional and symbolic tools for understanding ourselves. Jung did not rule out the possible existence of mystical or supernatural forces, but focused on the psychological benefit of understanding them.
This approach, which acknowledges the possibility of real existence on the one hand, and focuses on symbolic meaning on the other, offers us a balanced, multi-layered perspective that connects psychology, spirituality, and ancient psychic forces. Perhaps therein lies the secret of Jung’s power: in his ability to speak to both the heart and the mind.
