Mary Magdalene, as the great lover, represents woman’s best defense against being possessed by the animus: taking the heart as her guiding principle , listening to her true feelings instead of having opinions about how she ought to feel.
Going to tattoo this to my brain: There is nothing more destructive than making negative assumptions. .. I had blamed the animus for cutting me off. Of course this “cutting off” is certainly a characteristic of the animus, and he is often at the bottom of such a condition.
