The Seba library treats Mole in 2 passages, across 2 authors (including von Franz, Marie-Louise, Jung, Carl Gustav).
the whole range of similes is actually used to describe this human substance, that he is a cosmic egg, the cock (in the egg) or the mole (in the earth) or the ‘man cursed by the sun.’
Von Franz identifies the mole as one of a cluster of alchemical similes for the prima materia conceived as a hidden Anthropos embedded in the earth, awaiting the transformative opus.

Jung’s index entry places the mole in symbolic proximity to the transformative herb moly and the metaphysical Monad, situating it within the alchemical register of occult potential and hidden wholeness.
