1. Daimon Streiflichter zu Leben und Denken C.G. Jungs
Regarding the historical commentary: The fascinating kaleidoscope is based on records that Jaffé created between 1956 and 1961. How did her conversations with the elderly Jung come about, and what were Jaffé's notes? What was the nature of the relationship and collaboration between the two? Who was this woman who, despite significant ambivalence towards the endeavor, accepted the role of biographer for C.G. Jung? How did others handle Jaffé's records, her source material for the highly successful book? The present work offers far more than just insights into Jung's thoughts, creations, essence, and life; it provides a glimpse into a story that helps explain why Jaffé spoke of a process that was not only enriching but also painful.
2. Daimon Die Weisheit hat ihr Haus gebaut
To make the house of wisdom, already built in the afterlife, that is, in the unconscious, truly manifest in the individual person, the whole person is needed, with all four psychological functions of consciousness. This encounter with wholeness, which means the divine, is a profound event that renews both sides – the human and the divine. The cover image also aims to highlight this. It is by the Sicilian painter Antonello da Messina (15th century) and depicts "l'Annunciata" (Mary of the Annunciation), the fateful moment when Mary of Nazareth encounters the angel Gabriel and becomes aware of her destiny. The angel is not depicted, only she, the woman, and her shock in the encounter with the divine. The contributions published here by Marie-Louise von Franz, Rivkah Schärf Kluger, Gotthilf Isler, and Laurel Howe revolve around this encounter and the possible union of opposites between the divine and the human, the feminine and the masculine, the demonic and the redemptive. Ultimately, it is about a new image of God in which the feminine – or "Woman Wisdom" – is united with the masculine. This development has been emerging in the collective unconscious for centuries and seeks to be realized today. This volume contains an original contribution by Marie-Louise von Franz as well as additional contributions to the psychology of C. G. Jung, focusing particularly on aspects of the feminine and their psychological interpretation.

3. Daimon The visions of Niklaus von Flüe
In a depth psychological analysis, the visions of the hermit and saint Nicholas of Flüe are interpreted, and connections to the world of legends and myths are highlighted. Through these interpretations, the dimension of the 'priest-physician,' who embodies both therapist and spiritual counselor, is illuminated - an image that is gaining increasing significance today.
4. Daimon Sibylle Birkhäuser-Oeri
This unique book vividly illustrates how the mother complex operates both in the world and in the human psyche. Based on classic fairy tales such as Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, and Sleeping Beauty, it describes the positive and negative aspects of the mother complex and provides context. This is the first publication of this material in English in its original unabridged form. The book compares processes in the unconscious with mythical images in fairy tales to bring clarity to the unclear. It distills many years of experience and engagement with psychological themes, offering both men and women an enlightening perspective on their personal issues. For many, it will serve to shed light on the dark area filled with vague promises and dangers that continually confronts us from the realm of mothers. From the foreword by Marie-Louise von Franz. Sybille Birkhäuser-Oeri was a prominent Jungian analyst in Basel until her death in 1971. She was the wife of the painter and illustrator Peter Birkhäuser.

5. Daimon Psyche und Materie
Increasingly, the question arises today of how the soul and body are connected in particular, or psyche and matter in general. The author impressively illustrates through the phenomena of meaningful coincidence, synchronicity, and time what kind of connection this might be.
6. Daimon Lilith. Die erste Eva
In this completely revised new edition of his psychologically and historically fascinating portrayal, Siegmund Hurwitz sheds light on the figure of Lilith. He reveals the archetypal backgrounds of the Lilith myth and, from this perspective, elaborates on the resulting consequences for today's time. Hurwitz's work takes the reader back to ancient sources, from which it leads to current areas of a changed psychological understanding of the roles of men and women. – from the foreword by Marie-Louise von Franz.
7. Daimon Kunst und schöpferisches Unbewusstes
This volume brings together three classic essays by Erich Neumann on the relationship between the artist and society. According to Neumann, in artistic work, the originally formless archetypal contents find expression for the respective collective spirit of the times.

8. Daimon C.G. Jung: Letters to Hedy Wyss 1936 - 1956
C.G. Jung's letters to the artist and analysand Hedy Wyss, published here for the first time, are a unique testimony to Jung's vivid and sparkling spirit. Here we encounter the lively, compassionate, and deeply human side of Jung's nature. He writes neither scientifically nor cautiously, but quite spontaneously out of his respective state of mind. He mentions his suffering from various physical ailments to Hedy Wyss, such as heart troubles and rheumatism. At the same time, he struggles for the integrity of the analytical relationship and the veracity of love. Jung wrote his most important works during the twenty years of their correspondence, concluding with Mysterium Coniunctionis. Accordingly, in many of his letters to Hedy Wyss, hidden references to the problems he wrestled with at any given time can be found throughout these works. As a result, the content of Jung's letters required a comprehensive commentary. Alongside Jung's works, a private manuscript written by Hedy Wyss, in which, years after his death, she looked back on her encounters with 'C.G.' or the 'Old Sage' as she liked to call him, furthered understanding of many details in the letters. These sources give us a unique insight into C.G. Jung's singular approach as a researcher and analyst.

9. Daimon Selbstmord und seelische Wandlung
This book discusses a new approach to the question of suicide. Contrary to legal, sociological, theological, and medical perspectives, Hillman attempts to understand the impulse for suicide from within, as a search for greater fullness of life. The author presents a new perspective on the issue of suicide from the standpoint of Analytical Psychology. In contrast to the legal, theological, and medical views that he examines in depth, Hillman seeks to understand the suicide impulse from an internal perspective. He concludes that the death impulse must be seen as a specific type of experience that—paradoxical as it may sound—is a necessity for the human soul, which can only achieve the inner transformation it is destined for through this experience.
