This episode is an investigation of the father wound. I'll be exploring our own wounded fathers, the kind of wounds the masculine receives, and the shape of our own wounds as sons and daughters in a "time of no father," to quote Robert Bly. I'm interested here in the archetypal and mythic terrain of the wounded feeling function, as Jung calls it. I'm relying heavily on the Robert Johnson's book The Fisher King and the Handless Maiden, as well as Iron John by Robert Bly. I'm curious what these important myths tell us about our wounded fathers, or the wounded masculine more generally. This is the beginning of a two-part dive into this realm. Enjoy!
