Abstract: 
The article analyses the conceptual structure of the German nomination «Himmel», theomorp-hous characteristics of which reflect the manifestation of the collective unconscious (according to
C.G. Jung), the archetype being its central notion. The archetypes of images are ancient, primary and original universal human images, preconcepts of contemporary mental structures. The connection be-tween archetypes and «collective images» (according to L. Levi-Strauss) and as a result the inevitability of appearance of first Gods are under study. The focus is made on the process of tabooing, which is closely linked to mythological perception, and the tabooing of language forms and meanings in particu-lar.

Keywords:  nomination «Himmel», theomorphous characteristics, collective unconscious, archetype, preconcept, tabooing, mythological perception
