Animus Aeternus: Exploring the Inner Masculine<\/em><\/strong>
\nby Deldon Anne McNeely<\/p>\n

\u201cThe animus is the deposit, as it were, of all woman\u2019s ancestral experiences of man\u2014and not only that, he is also a creative and procreative being.\u201d\u00a0<\/i>\u2014C.G. Jung<\/p>\n

Inextricably enmeshed in the life of every woman is a constellation of autonomous energy that Jung called animus, her masculine side. As a woman develops psychologically, animus changes, appearing and reappearing as child or adult, lover or enemy, king or slave, animal or spirit. All these manifestations of animus energy are reflected in her experience of masculinity, both in herself and in others.<\/p>\n

Animus Aeternus<\/i> weaves developmental theories from depth psychology with the poetry of women\u2014including Sylvia Plath, Adrienne Rich, Emily Dickinson, Teresa of Avila and Edna St. Vincent Millay\u2014to trace the history and meaning of this lifetime companion, illustrating how animus participates in a woman\u2019s life, whether we are conscious of it or not.<\/p>\n

Like dreams and active imagination, poetry speaks in images from the soul. In choosing women\u2019s poetry as well as their dreams to illustrate the essence of animus, the author adds the immediacy of soul-made truths to the lucidity of her conceptual matrix.<\/p>\n
