This paper explores the symbolism of the white lion as an archetype representing the Self in Jungian psychology. By exploring the mythological, cultural, and spiritual associations of the white lion, the paper elucidates its symbolic resonance as a manifestation of the individuated self. The relevance of this paper is that a beautiful numinous dream (about a white lion), and subsequently two visits to the Timbavati, heartlands of the white lions, led the author down this path of exploration. It illustrates how dreams can serve as guiding forces along our life journeys.
