About this title: The concept of "archetypes" and the hypothesis of "a collective unconscious" are two of Jung's better known ideas. In this volume, taken from the "Collected Works", Jung describes and elaborates the two concepts. Three essays establish the theoretical basis, followed by essays on specific archetypes. The relation of these to the process of individualization is examined in the last section of the book.

"It was my only book by Jung i actually wanted to read. The idea that ancient myths are part of the base of every humans unconscious self thrilled me, it gave me the feeling that there is a web that connects us all (even in mental illness:P)"
By Jyriii,

"The source of mythology - the collective unconscious
Jung was meticulously looking for psychological patterns of thinking. These patterns he called archetypes. Like the instincts have influence on the physical body, the archetypes should have their influence on the thinking mind. They have their origin in what Jung called the collective unconscious.
While the personal unconscious is made up of contents which have at some time been conscious but which have disappeared from consciousness through having been forgotten or repressed, the contents of the collective unconscious have a collective, universal and impersonal nature which cannot be reduced to experiences in the individual's past.
All original mythological revelations have their source in the collective unconscious. Metaphorical mythology is needed in expression of the complex archetypal contents. Even though the cultural surroundings have their influence on various myths, too, it seems like the collective unconscious was identical in all individuals.
Although Jung was a real pioneer in his field, I find his (translated) style of writing slightly "dry". Especially the last chapters on mandala symbolism were boring. -I suggest you highlight the most interesting contents, so you'll find them easily later again."
