This article explores the linked themes of the descent into hell and divinemadness, as articulated in Jung’s self-explorations between 1913 and 1930and as portrayed in his Liber Novus: The Red Book, situating these withthe history of these notions. This in turn open the question of the relationbetween Jung’s visionary experiences and his subsequent conceptualelaborations in his exoteric scholarly works.KEY WORDSLiber Novus, The Red Book, hell, divine madness, visionary experiences,esotericism, Jung, Blake, Dante, Swedenborg.
