Great Mother Schema III

The 3rd Schema of the Great Mother seems a little complex, but it is basically just a four-part structure: The Good Mother opposed to the Terrible Mother and the Positive and Negative Anima. Neumann helps with Jung a good deal especially with the archetype of the anima. Neumann sees the anima as part of a greater plan which involves the mother archetype, which does make a lot of sense. The mother is no doubt a part of the anima, and considering them as a whole puts many things into the proper perspective.

Again, my main reason for putting up these charts, which are nice enough as images in themselves, is to knock some slow going Jungians (like myself) on the side of the head and say, "Read this book!"
