Translation of the book "Creation Myths" (1972, revised edition 1995). The text is compiled from lectures given at the Jung Institute during the winter semester of 1961-1962. Cosmogonic myths are myths about the creation of the world. What really happened in the beginning? A skillful god, a mating pair of beloved gods, or rival twin gods? Marie-Louise von Franz convincingly argues that it is precisely in the understanding of cosmogonic myths that lies the key to the creation of our personal, new and renewed Universe.
