ANIMUS:
FRIEND OR FOE
with Jungian Analyst
Elisabeth Pomès
TUESDAYS • Feb 20, 27 & Mar 5, 2024
What is the Animus?
Both the Feminine and the Masculine are present in all of us. In a woman the Inner Masculine energy is called the Animus.
How does it come into being? How does it manifest in our lives, both positively and negatively? How can we dialogue with the Animus? These are the essential questions that the seminars will address.
We will spend some time exploring the theme of the killer Animus in the Fairy Tale Bluebeard and we will look at a possible transformation of the Animus: from enemy to friend, from obstacle to “torch bearer”.
Suggested Reading:
Fairy Tale Bluebeard (several versions are available)
Irene Claremont de Castillejo’s Knowing Woman, especially the chapter on the Animus.
