The Animus: Archetypes in Stories and in Life

This month in the Stories Cafe Podcast, we will be exploring masculine archetypes as deep inner figures that can help us heal, energize, and live in tune with the seasons of both the year and our own lives.Annette introduces the concept of seasonal living (not about vegetables!) and explains why spring and summer are the “yang season” (outward, active, masculine in energy), making this the ideal time to work with the archetypes of the Animus. We touch on Jungian psychology, ancient myth, song lyrics, and the universal story of the hostile brothers.You can listen to all the Episodes in the Series hereResources Mentioned* Highway Patrolman (Bruce Springsteen, from the album Nebraska, 1982)* Man and His Symbols (Carl G.
