On so many levels, generation after generation of humans have manifested this energy and passed it down, getting denser and more ingrained each time. Doesn’t it seem to reflect the ethos of our time both personally and on a global, hell, galactic scale?
The Death Mother is experienced as harmful and traumatizing energy which comes to us from a person, institution, culture, or nation-state that we would naturally expect to nurture, protect and support us. As a result of being trapped in an environment of strict, dominating, and love that comes with conditions, the child’s profound inner anger intensifies. The Wise Old Woman, or helpful old woman, 'is a well-known symbol in myths and fairy tales for the wisdom of the eternal female nature.' 1 The Wise Old Man, 'or some other very powerful aspect of eternal masculinity' is her male. The mother communicates in various ways that the child must disavow these parts or risk abandonment.Ī deep rage begins when we realize a part of our mother wants us to die. In Jungian psychology, the Wise Old Woman and the Wise Old Man are archetypes of the collective unconscious. If any part of the child threatens this control, it must be extinguished.
This preoccupation leads her to put her own survival above that of her child. She is intensely preoccupied with her own wounds, mostly unseen and ununderstood, which she must control to survive.
The Death Mother archetype involves a self-focused and controlling relationship approach rooted in deep insecurity and abandonment trauma.
