The Jungian Aion • Dec 3, 2024 • Hello Brothers and Sisters, and welcome to the Jungian Aion! Enjoy this excerpt from the fascinating interview with Marie-Louise von Franz and Suzanne Wagner. It was filmed in 1977 at von Franz’s tower retreat in Bollingen, Switzerland. The full interview:    • 1977 Interview with Marie-Louise von …   After Marie’s interview, I read an excerpt from her book “The Feminine in Fairy Tales”. 00:00:00 Interview 00:06:50 Book Reading This segment encapsulates the essence of a deeply personal and psychological journey rooted in Jungian thought. It challenges the tendency to externalize struggles by redirecting focus inward, toward the animus—the inner masculine aspect of a woman’s psyche. Rather than blaming or distancing oneself from men, it emphasizes the importance of confronting and integrating the animus to achieve inner freedom and self-actualization. This process involves recognizing projections, reconciling inner conflicts, and ultimately fostering a healthier relationship with both oneself and others. Liberation, then, is not a fight against external forces but a profound transformation within, where understanding the animus leads to wholeness and balance. Thank you for being here and for sharing this moment in our collective human experience. For many years, I’ve dedicated myself to the pursuit of Truth, Wisdom, and Beauty-what I believe constitutes true Health. My journey has been one of individuation, striving to understand and integrate my individuality within the collective unconscious, while becoming the person I was meant to be. My aim is to let Jung’s work permeate our modern consciousness, bridging the gap between the archetypal reality of our collective unconscious and our daily lives. This involves connecting our profound ancestral wisdom with our current space-time continuum-our daily rituals, habits, and the often unconscious patterns that guide us. I am deeply passionate about contributing to our individual and collective path to individuation, self-development, and the realization of our soul’s true purpose.
