Howell\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Cambridge, Mass., in 1922. From an early age, she lived abroad in hotels and boarding schools, never more than three months in one place. By eighteen, she had lived in or traveled to thirty-seven countries and undertaken a lifelong study of comparative religion and mythology. She graduated from the Buser Institut in Switzerland before returning with her parents to the U.S. During World War II, she studied under the astrologer Marc Edmund Jones as his youngest student. She got married, had four children, and taught English and history in private schools on Long Island for eighteen years, progressing to the university level. Howell continued to study Jungian depth psychology and astrology for thirty years. At the advice of the Jungian analyst Dr. Edward F. Edinger, she attempted to prove astrology a useful diagnostic aid in the practice of Jungian psychology and devoted her time to patients sent by psychiatrists and analysts. Howell taught at the Jung Foundation in New York City and later at the C.G. Jung institutes in Chicago and L.A. and became an international lecturer. She is the primary pioneer in linking psychology and astrology. Encouraged by her second husband, Walter Andersen, she has written seven books, including \u003ci\u003eJungian Symbolism in Astrology\u003c\/i\u003e (1987); \u003ci\u003eThe Dove in the Stone\u003c\/i\u003e (1988); and \u003ci\u003eThe Web in the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e (1933); as well as three books for SteinerBooks and Lindisfarne Books: \u003ci\u003eHow Like an Angel Came I Down\u003c\/i\u003e (1991); \u003ci\u003eThe Beejum Book\u003c\/i\u003e (2002); \u003ci\u003eLara's First Christmas\u003c\/i\u003e (2004); and \u003ci\u003eFrom the Archives of the Heart\u003c\/i\u003e (2010).

Howell lives in the Massachusetts Berkshires and continues her practice and moderates an online Jungian group.","brand":"Bell Pond Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50917978767634,"sku":"9780880107297","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2a850957-e788-4812-9ff0-10e920015d82.jpg?v=1738872427","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-beejum-book-9780880107297","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
