The lady of the hare Book

I wouldn't really reccomend this book, in that I'm not sure of the direction it points to or the conclusion it seems to come to. However, I found it helpful because it traced a single symbol of the white rabbit through so many cultures and times, and one woman's life in particular. I also found it helpful because it explained in two hundred pages what Joseph Campbell tries to sum up in two sentences: that is how and why a mythical symbol might appear in a modern person's dream that they have no understanding or experience with. It is a specific case study of what Carl Jung writes volumes about but never gives examples of: How and why each human mind has access to a file folder of archetypal images with inherent meanings that do not change over time-- regardless of our own knowledge or experience. To me it also explains why the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland has lead to or increased the use of idioms in everyday language. Why losing one's thought is "going down a rabbit hole" and why the image of the moon and the white rabbit are so intermixed in stories, poems, songs, and the like. If you think and study in images rather than words, this book might be helpful in connecting a group of them in an orderly historical way.
