Nancy Qualls-Corbett
I was happy to see the following article at Everything Alabama this morning (from The Birmingham News):
Jungian realizes pull of `Da Vinci’
by Kathy Kemp
Birmingham resident, Nancy Qualls-Corbett, is a Jungian psychologist whose perspective on ideas of masculine and feminine principles/qualities I find deeply interesting. Author of The Sacred Prostitute: Eternal Aspect of the Feminine, it seems to me that Qualls-Corbett has come the closest to putting her finger on why Margaret Starbird’s “sacred union” mythology has struck a nerve in our society. From the article:
She’s particularly interested in Mary Magdalene’s role in the story and the world’s increasing fascination with her. “My speculation is that people are seeing the need for balance in the world, and that would be the feminine side – of relating to each other, of appreciating the arts as well as science.”
A vast simplification, but very in line with my thinking as well.
Dr. Qualls-Corbett is giving a lecture in Birmingham on Friday; details are in the article.
