Carl told me that I had not been exactly like the anima

Only now do I see that the dream of XII 1923 means the death of the anima.

(“She does not know that she is dead”).

This coincides with the death of my mother.

After 16 I had a regressive incestuous dream with destructive symbols.

The attempt to go to the anima was apparently misguided.

Had bad results.

Since the death of my mother, the A. [Anima] has fallen silent. Meaningful! ~Carl Jung, The Black Books, Vol. VII, Page 235

See above, p. 232.

In a diary entry of September 12, 1924, Toni Wolff wrote:

“Does he still see me as anima? Because he is Philemon?” (Diary B, p. 6).

On December 27, 1924, she wrote:

“Anima Toni-substitute, because anima is primary, no unconditional attitude toward me. . . .

C. told me that I had not been exactly like the anima.

The anima said that I was indecently clever” (Diary B, pp. 76, 88). ~The Black Books, Vol. VII, Page 235-236, fn 237
