Bidden or Not Bidden Plaque
"Bidden or not bidden, God is present." Carl Jung, the eminent psychologist, had this quote carved over the front door of his Zurich home, as well as on his tombstone. It is an English translation of the Latin "Vocatus Atque Non Vocatus Deus Aderit", a quotation he came across when studying Erasmus. The words are said to originate from the reply given by Delphic Oracle to the Spartans when they were planning a war against Athens: "Yes, the Gods will be present, but in what form and to what purpose?"
The design of this plaque is from an original carved inscription by sculptor Ken Thompson.It is approximately 7 inches wide, 9 inches tall, and 3/4 inch thick at the point of greatest depth. This Wild Goose Studio piece comes in cast iron or bronze, as shown. Cast iron pieces are for indoor use only. Bronze pieces can be placed outdoors where they will acquire a green patina over time.
