Biography/Organization History
Christine Downing (1931-) is a scholar of religion, mythology, depth psychology, and
feminist studies. She married while attending college and was the first married
woman to graduate from Swarthmore. She wrote her dissertation on Martin Buber and
became the first woman upon whom Drew University bestowed a doctorate. Downing began
her exemplary teaching career at Rutgers University in 1963. She moved to California
in 1974 to teach at San Diego State University where she remained for eighteen
years, ten of which she served as chair of the Department of Religious Studies. In
1974, when Dr. Downing became the first woman president of the American Academy of
Religion, she gave her presidential address on "Sigmund Freud and the Mythological
Tradition," a presentation which marked an important early public expression of her
life-long scholarly emphasis on Freud.
During her years in San Diego, Dr. Downing also served as a core faculty member at
the California School of Professional Psychology. This assignment led her to return
to school to pursue a master's degree in family therapy. In 1994 she was asked to
assist in the development of the curriculum for what was then the newly established
Mythological Studies program at Pacifica Graduate Institute.
Throughout her professional career, Downing published nine books and edited five
others, mapping the changes in the field of religious studies over the last half
century. Significant works include
The Goddess: Mythological Images of the
Feminine
(1981),
The Myths and Mysteries of Same Sex Love
(1989), and
Psyche's Sisters: Reimagining the Meaning of Sisterhood
(1988). See the Opus Archives and Research Center website for a bibliography of Downing’s works.

Notes from Christine Downing: "WOOD LION (brought to me from Kenya by my
parents)-- symbolizing my Leo Ftaher Figures: my father, my husband,
Jung-- it sat on my desk & presided over all my writing from the
time I began graduate school until I moved to California", "BRONZE
SERPENT GODDESS-- another desk top image-- symbolizing the goddess
energy that inspired my writing from the time I moved to my house on
Serpentine Drive in Del Mar to our move to Orcas", "SMALL 'ACHILLES
HEALING PATROCLUS' PLATE-- symbolizing all the love & sorrow that
lay behind my Myths and Mysteries of the Same Sex Love and that still
means so much to me in recent years, has informed my life (with wounds
and blessings) more than any other".

Books That Never Got Written: Imagining the Real; Poetics of
the Psyche; Trope of Travel
Note
Notes from Christine Downing: "IMAGINING THE REAL: THE PERSISTENCE OF
PROPHECY Prospectus and Outline, the completed (and sometimes
published) sections which were to have been included (I received a
Cross Disciplinary Fellowship from the Society for Religion in
Higher Education to work on this project during the 1967-68 academic
year-- and spent the fall semester doing postgraduate study in
Comparative Literature at Yale to work on the literary part and a
spring semester in Tubingen to work on the New Testament part-- but
somehow when I got back to Rutgers and discovered that feminism had
happened while I was gone the energy for the project evaporated!)".,
"A POETICS OF THE PSYCHE: MYTHOPOESIS IN THE PSYCHOLOGIES OF SIGMUND
FREUD AND CARL JUNG Manuscript of completed portion-- brings the
story up to World War I. (When I came to SDSU from Rutgers in 1974 I
already had a good sense of the shape of this book; my 1974 AAR
presidential address, 'Sigmund Freud and the Greek Mythological
Tradition,' provided a kind of overview. Most of what was completed
was written during the summer of 1976 spent in Badenweiler,
Germany-- and during an NEH Summer Seminar session in Santa Barbara
the following year. In the meanwhile I had already written
'Persephone in Hades' (inspired by a spring 1975 dream). When I
showed the book prospectus & draft and the Persephone piece
to Bill Whitehead at Dutton, his response was that there were
already too many books on Freud and that he loved the Persephone. My
response was to drop the book and focus instead of what eventually
became The Goddess.)", "TROPE OF TRAVEL-- 111 page draft, Letters
from 1982 trip around the world. Some of this ended up in Journey
Through Menopause".

Note from Christine Downing: "DEMETER AND PERSEPHONE This book did
eventually get published as The Long Journey Home. What this file
contains is the original much longer version that Shambhala insisted
needed to be radically cut. ALSO included here: the original
versions of papers reworked for inclusion in The Goddess, Journey
Through Menopause, Women's Mysteries", "ORPHEUS AND

cover most of what it would have included-- but after the Berlin
Wall came down I realized that I needed instead to focus on my own
engagement on that period of my life when the underworld emerged
into history, the period of Nazi rule. So I dropped this project to
turn instead to my "Remembered Lives" project.)".
