The Secret Sun

From this site, "The Secret Sun is primarily inspired by the teachings of Carl Gustav Jung."

The blog's purpose: "to study the use and mechanics of symbolism and semiotics in pop culture and to chart the phenomenon of Synchronicity in everyday life."

"The goal of this study is to free the mind of the individual, to open up greater possibilities of reality, and to discover ways to use this knowledge to improve one's life experience."

It appears that Jung's work on Synchronicity is important here, with 45 posts tagged with it. But you get a huge sense of the blog's direction with some of its other big tags, UFOs, Occult, Mysteries, Sun Worship, Rock and Roll, Out Gods Wear Spandex, Mythology, Egypt, Ancient Astronauts. Some of the cultural things important here: Comics, X-Files, Jack Kirby.

I haven't watched those shows, I don't read comics, I don't care much about ancient astronauts, sun worship, or UFOs. And Egypt is borderline. But I like the idea of a blog "primarily inspired" by Jung.
