...noted that the myths and religious symbols of widely differing peoples and epochs had certain marked similarities, and were apt to include the same cast of characters. Among these characters he discerned a primordial image called "the shadow," which was usually embodied in figures like Satan. Others were the "anima" (the "woman in man," i.e., the female component of the masculine psyche, represented concretely in images ranging from Helen of Troy to the modern pin-up girl), the "animus" (corresponding male image, in the female psyche), the "great earth mother" (representing the material aspects of nature), the "wise...
Last week Pope Pius personally examined the case, ordered Jachym's consecration to proceed. The Pope announced that he had overcome Jachym's personal apprehensions, ordered both Innitzer and Jachym to Rome. There, in the church of Santa Maria dell' Anima, Cardinal Innitzer intoned the solemn Mass and performed the ceremony of consecrating the new bishop. Msgr. Jachym, kneeling before the cardinal, was stern-faced as he made his responses. After the ceremony, leaning for the first time on his pastoral staff, Jachym walked firmly from the church, his hand lifted in blessing, his eyes downcast...
...patient believed he was irreligious, but Dr. Jung knew better. The dream of the mosquelike church (preceded and followed by equally revealing dream-imagery) demonstrated an inner approval of the Church coupled with a pagan point of view, to which the woman, "a very important minority"-the anima or feminine side of the man's unconscious-makes vigorous objection.

Only the Christian symbol of the Trinity fails to conform to this system of fours, and Dr. Jung believes that the unconscious mind therefore tends to augment it with a fourth element. This is probably woman-the anima, or earth mother; although Dr. Jung points out that the element of evil, or the devil, is also excluded from the God-symbol, in which it might logically take part. At this point Dr. Jung excuses himself, declaring: "The church, I assume, has to invalidate any attempt at taking such...
...opera house for 27 seasons. In Der Rosenkavalier she is a Viennese lady, handsome in bouffant black. In Lohengrin she is a bewigged wedding guest. In Mignon she gets a laugh, mincing along with a bird cage. In Carmen she wanders backstage selling papier-mache pumpkins. In L'Anima Allegro, she was a pipe-smoking gypsy crone (see cut). In Tannhauser few years ago she substituted for Maria Jeritza as the corpse of Elizabeth, because that strapping diva dreaded being carried down a stage mountain on a small bier. And in dozens of other operas "Maman" Maria Savage...
