Carl Jung, the renowned psychologist (1875–1961), had this Latin phrase carved above the door of his home in Zurich. The words — Vocatus atque non vocatus, Deus aderit — translate as “Bidden or not bidden, God is present.” For Jung, it served as a reminder of the ever-present spiritual dimension of life. The phrase is said to trace back to the Delphic Oracle’s reply to the Spartans before their war with Athens, carrying with it a sense of mystery and deeper meaning. Jung first encountered it as a 19-year-old student reading the works of Erasmus, and it was later carved on his own tombstone. This piece captures that rich intellectual and spiritual heritage in a form that feels both reflective and enduring.
