Robin, now that sounds really fascinating - how do you "run a Jungian
mandala" and is the "board" you mention here metaphorical or real, as in
ouija board? I use the latter, I Ching & tarot but know very little
about Jungian mandalas.
What about Rank & Ferenczi, by the way, to name only the most obvious
usual suspects. The latter would have to be the proponent of
thalassaphilia ;-)
Nobody has mentioned it, but there's also *storge* in Greek, translating
roughly as natural or instinctual affection, e.g. as in maternal love.
Thus the name & symbol of the stork, according to fanciful (?)
etymology. by the way, there's a useful dictionary online: Vines's
expository dictionary of New Testament words:
