Whether or not this is the first Jungian reading of the Litany of Loreto is irrelevant to the book's extraordinary capacity to help the reader appropriate ancient feminine/divine archetypes as coded potentialities of their own soul/psyche. This is a true reclaiming of the mystical night for any searcher irrespective of their religious allegiance or non-allegiance. Anyone who thinks spirituality matters will find layer upon layer of significance in this text and the book more than repays multiple readings.
