 The anima has many stages and embraces a great range of psychological facts. Jung once divided it in four, Eve, Helena, Mary, and Sophia, the Wisdom of God. Eve would be the biological woman, and when she appears as an anima, she would be the biological sex, the physical attraction, motherhood, the image of the ordinary attractive female. Helena is on a higher stage. She would represent the hetira. The Greeks, for instance, developed a type of, their form of geishas, the hetira, cultivated women with whom one had not only a sexual adventure, but with whom one exchanged poetry and philosophical conversations where the man had also a spiritual companion in the woman, a companionship, together with romantic sex. The next stage is the anima figure in Christianity of the Virgin Mary, which is the highest form of spirituality, but a bit one-sidedly too high up. The Virgin Mary is lacking the dark Eve side of woman, the earthy side of woman. So it is a bit too lofty ideal. And when the church abolished the kurdamur, they forced the knights to worship the Virgin Mary instead, and at the same time they began the witch hunting. That means the dark side, the shadow side, or the more biological and wilder and the more natural side of the anima is too much excluded from the ideal of the Virgin Mary. And therefore the fourth stage is the wisdom of God is, as Jung smilingly quoted, is a calm down, because wisdom is not the most virtuous spirituality. It is closer to life. It would be when a man knows how to love women and knows how to relate to women, but having wisdom at the same time, the wisdom which protects him from their devouring side. The highest form of love is also something with a grain of salt in it. Now what do you mean by that? I won't say.
