Raye Mathis

Raye Mathis grew up in South Carolina in a Southern Baptist family where she attended Furman University, at that time a Baptist university, majoring in mathematics with a minor in music.

After graduation, she married an engineer, and both came to work at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia where she worked as a mathematician, and computer programmer for 7 years. After the birth of their son, she became interested in organic gardening, helped to organize and start a Montessori school, where she served on the Board and held several officer positions, and pursued a long-time interest in the work of Edgar Cayce, Carl Jung and astrology.

In the mid-1970's, she attended a month-long Atlantic University retreat on meditation. She had been a student of the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce since the early 60's and had attended numerous A.R.E. conferences, but this Atlantic University experience was the most intense application of the concepts in the readings ever experienced. The retreat changed the direction of her life. She decided to pursue a master's degree in clinical social work and since then, as a licensed social worker, she worked as a therapist in a private practice and also in a psychiatric hospital.  She did post-graduate studies at the Carl Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland from 1982 until 1986 and studied archetypal astrology with Jung’s daughter, Frau Gret Baumann-Jung.   She has been a member of the Atlantic University faculty since the late 80s has also served on the A.R.E. and Atlantic University Boards of Trustees.   In addition to mentoring a required course on Spiritual Crisis, she has also mentored other courses in symbolism, mythology, astrological archetypes, and alchemy - all topics common to the Cayce readings and Jungian psychology.

At this time, she is continuing a faculty position with Atlantic University and also has an ongoing private astrology practice.  In addition for over 10 years, she has offered 4-week eGroups online on different astrological topics.  Raye can be reached at rayemathis22@gmail.com.
