RAINMAKER

 Session I

(Told by the orientalist RichardWilhelm to C. G. Jung and found as a footnote in Jung's Collected Works(1)):

There was a great drought where Wilhelm lived; for months there had not been a drop of rain and the situation became catastrophic. The Catholics made processions, the Protestants made prayers, and the Chinese burned joss-sticks and shot off guns to frighten away the demons of the drought, but with no result. Finally the Chinese said: "We will fetch the rainmaker."
