The Wolf: A Mythological and Comparative Study

Ancient texts document the hatred of Cain for his brother Abel and relate how Cain callously slew his innocent brother. This fratricidal act has been perpetrated by Homo sapiens against Canis lupus over thousands of years. Human and wolf are psychic siblings: rival apex predators in the late Pleistocene; both intelligent, family orientated and highly socialised creatures. While decadent, rapacious humanity has become an infestation on the surface of planet Earth, the wolf is immaculate: all that we once were - all that we should be - all that we must become!All that is odious, iniquitous and malicious in the human archetype is repressed into the Shadow of the collective human unconscious and projected upon the despised scapegoat of humanity - the wolf - making it the very embodiment of evil and malevolence. Homeopathic wolf's milk, Lac lupinum, bears the impress not only of the wolf's suffering at the hands of humanity, but also the mythical and projected visions of the wolf built into the human unconscious, ensuring a remedy of uncommon scope and power for the healing of the human soul.This title expands on the archetype of The Wolf from the forthcoming, and eagerly awaited second volume of David's highly acclaimed Healing the Soul series.

About the Author :
David Lilley was born into a homeopathic family in Leeds, Yorkshire, England, in 1940. His father, William Henry Lilley, was a renowned psychic healer and also a homeopathic practitioner and chiropractor. In 1949, the family emigrated to South Africa, and David's father established a successful practice in Pretoria. After recovering, through psychic and homeopathic healing, from a severe, life-threatening illness at seven years of age, David resolved to become a doctor. He studied medicine at the University of Pretoria, qualifying in 1962. After completing his hospital internship, he spent three years at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital and the London College of Osteopathy. He obtained his homeopathic MFHom qualification in 1965, and his LLCO osteopathic qualification in 1966.On returning to South Africa, David joined his father and he has conducted an exclusively homeopathic and osteopathic practice for the past 46 years. In 1994, he co-founded the first official homeopathic course for medical doctors in South Africa. In 1995, this course evolved into the South African Faculty of Homeopathy, of which he became the Dean.Since 1999, David has lectured widely in the UK, and also in Ireland, Japan, Australia, Denmark and Latvia. In his lectures, he weaves together homeopathic art and science, analytical psychology, mythology, symbolism, chakra and colour theory, natural science and spiritual philosophy to provide a rich tapestry of perennial wisdom and knowledge.In December 2007, David retired from his private practice in Pretoria and moved to Cape Town where he currently conducts a small, select practice and is concentrating on writing and lecturing. David's first book in a series entitled 'Healing the Soul' was published in 2014 and was a global hit. His admirers are eagerly awaiting the second volume in the (very!) near futur and this title expands upon the Wolf archetype examined in that volume.
