Abstract: Mythological motive of a soul transiting into the world of the dead is one of the most radical techniques of analytical psychology when correcting the psychological structure and preparing the personality for future transformation. In extreme situations our unconsciousness sends messengers from the Numen world – archetype images of helpers and conductors leading us towards the light of consciousness. Representing the idea of ‘united’ opposites, ancient Egyptian god Thoth had a wide range of knowledge – writing and counting in the first place. Being the god of magic, it is him who was asked to take the soul of the dead to the other world, towards the light of the gods’ world.
