Hieros Gamos:
Crafting an Experience of
Inner Sacred Union
Introduction
Hieros Gamos, meaning "sacred marriage" in Greek, symbolizes the profound union of the masculine and feminine principles within an individual. In Jungian psychology, this concept refers to the integration of the anima (inner feminine) and animus (inner masculine) aspects of the psyche. Achieving this inner harmony leads to a state of psychological wholeness, self-realization, and balance.
