“The collective unconscious consists of the sum of the instincts and their correlates, the archetypes. Just as everybody possesses instincts, so he also possesses a stock of archetypal images.” -Carl Jung
Writer’s Quest was inspired by a lot of Carl Jung’s work. Most of Jung’s influence can be seen in book one, where Senta meets Anie-Ma. I don’t want to give too much away. The focus was on Jung’s idea of the divine masculine and the divine feminine, with Anie-Ma being the divine feminine. I wanted to personify Jung’s divine feminine, and I wanted her book to unfold in that way as well. That part of the project was something I connected deeply with. It was something that stayed through all the edits.
I think it was meant to be.
