Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology 

Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology (ISSN: ???) is a journal published by the Archetypal Research Collective (ARC), San Francisco, California. Archetypal cosmology includes the study of the correlations between cyclical alignments of the planets and archetypal patterns in human experience (archetypal astrology), but goes beyond this to address the theoretical basis of these correlations and their implications for the wider world view. Consequently, archetypal cosmology is a multidisciplinary subject drawing on scholarship from many other areas such as depth psychology, history, philosophy, cosmology, religious studies, cultural studies, the arts, and the sciences. Volume 1 (Summer, 2009), Volume 2 (Fall, 2010), Volume 3 (Winter, 2011);  and Volume 4 (2012) have been published, but it is not known if any further issues have been published.
