RAVES & REVIEWS

The Serpent and the Cross offers 62 stirring arche-typal paintings, the
product of Katherine Sanford¹s slow and steady psychological work on the
early loss of her mother and the subsequent compensatory responses to that
loss. This series of paintings and text represent a dialogue with the soul,
addressing the deepest complexes of the human psyche.

This book is a testament to the nature of the objective psyche as described
by C.G. Jung. During his own time of disorientation he allowed himself to
experience his unconscious in great depth. Katherine Sanford has been able
to paint her own unconscious images, which have shown the way to healing the
mother wound. We are grateful to her for making her process available. It
is a rare experience.

THOMAS B. KIRSCH, M.D.
Past president of the International Association of Analytic Psychology

At 89, Jungian analyst Katie Sanford has courageously revealed 60 plus
images painted from her unconscious active imagination over a period of 30
years. Personal narrative accompanies these paintings giving insight and
interpretation to the symbols and themes that have defined women since time
began. As a wife, mother and analyst, Sanford has done something rare by
combining her images with Jungian theory. Every woman will find herself
within the pages of this book as it reveals and resolves the mystery and
meaning behind the wounds and shadows that lurk within us all.

___________________

The Serpent and the Cross is a modern allegory of a woman¹s heroic psychic
struggle to save her life through understanding and relating to some of the
darkest elements of the personal and universal unconscious. As Katherine M.
Sanford encounters figures of the unconscious, she relates to them as a
medium. She brings them to light in her paintings and gives them voice
through her poetic dialogues. Because her work is authentic, inner and
outer realities begin to impact one another.
This thirty-year evolution is documented in this series of 62 paintings.
Anyone who has tried psychological work will appreciate the tremendous
courage involved in undertaking this awesome journey, Persevering through
many years to a meaningful resolution, Katherine Sanford is finally sharing
her very intimate psychic odyssey and far-ranging insights with a wider
audience.
