Thanks, I saw this a year or two ago, but I watched it again. I am just finishing up listening to the Campbell Grail Legends class lectures. As a result, I am also at pg. 100 or so of his book Creative Mythology, Masks of God, that I bought a few months ago for a couple bucks. I am dang near ashamed that I haven't read all three Masks of God yet. That seems to me it must be an essential.

I find it interesting that Campbell placed the beginning of renewal of the western assertion of individuality around 1100-1200 with the troubadours and "love cults", Abelard and Heloise, and opens up a whole new age and area of study for us, and yet, I don't recall Jung mentioning the grail legends. Perhaps Jung just didn't quite get to them in the course of his work, or maybe he did and I am just forgetting.

Sam,
I was also struck my Campbell's assertion of the Arthurian Romances of the 12th century as being the foundations of Western society's identification of 'individuality'. But the love of the heart was a turning point in history. Instead of arranged marriages one began to follow the love of the heart.

If you are reading the Masks of God you indeed have a lot of reading to do. This is the depths of Campbell's mythology. Although inspirational it is a lot to consume. A lot of detail.
