Miles<\/strong> writes: The University of Victoria is offering a Tolkien course this winter. Tolkien\u2019s Prophetic Vision and The Lord of the Rings This course will discuss the meaning of J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s mythology, especially as portrayed in The Lord of the Rings, along with comparative references to the work of C.G. Jung. Tolkien brings a necessary compensatory vision to our contemporary culture in a way that is in harmony with Jung\u2019s perspective and concerns. He was able to penetrate to the core of our Western cultural dynamics, and his sub-creation gives us images, words, language, values and a view that can serve as a light that illuminates our deeper needs for collective individuation.

Tolkien has also given us feeling-toned images, both of shadow and light, which are relevant to Jung\u2019s path of individuation.
